I have a neon coral tuxedo platy. What other fish can live in the same tank with it? - neon tuxedos
I know that this fish lives in about 24 to 28 degrees and eat fish. But if he has bought it, only because I started my car and I did not get most, if not ok to bring. Now I know that my fish is going well and the tank is properly configured, I would like to add more fish and was wondering what other fish can live in the same way as?
Moreover, after a few days my water is slightly cloudy, and I wonder if there is anything I can do or put in water to be clarified. The fish do not bother me, but it seems even more beautiful when the water is clear!
Thank you!

Neon Tuxedos I Have A Neon Coral Tuxedo Platy. What Other Fish Can Live In The Same Tank With It?

The Platy is a great community fish and mix well with the fish community.
It is a very good article on Wikipedia, which the various species of tropical fish lists, and give a good indication that the fish can be mixed.
It would be wise to some of the cichlids, to avoid that can cause some problems in a community tank.
A series of water treatments, which can be purchased to meet the clouds in the tank. It would be better to discuss, what about the local water providers and treatments can be very specific.
Platies are tropical fish and can be mixed with other tropical fish. GloFish are very popular and plentiful. and work well betta. Add more platies. Mickey Mouse Platys are very impressive!
The cloudy water is easy, because the tank is new. It would be useful to know the container size, and rolled the time, but I'll try to help. What is an Internet search, such as cycling a new aquarium. You need to get a test kit, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH test. The pH test is not critical, but useful. Basically, what happens when you add fish to your tank is about 2-3 weeks after that the rate increases ammonia (toxic) to fish. It will reach its peak and then let it fall. Then, nitrites and nitrates will do the same.
To prevent loss of fish, you should vacuum the gravel and change 30% of the water every two days, starting when the ammonia levels to increase. To increase less than a week or two, ammonia begins to fall and the amount of nitrite and nitrate. Once the level started to fall into the tank must be completely open. At this point you can begin to 15-20% water change every week or every two weeks.
Be sure to add fish gradually. Not more than 2 or 3 at once. Depending on the size of your down payment, you should check by using atro fish or two to ramp this process. When adding new fish, keep an eye on the level of ammonia for a few weeks. If the ammonia starts to show, starting with a few changes of water. It was after a couple of nice days.
I know it seems a lot of information, but once the cycle should not tank with the fish and water change every week to feed. About 20 minutes worth of work.
Good Luck =
Under tank bike, you can
