My 10 gallon tank is set up (has been for a couple of weeks). I am finally ready to get two mickey mouse platys to start with (then add two more in a couple of weeks). Even with my heater on the lowest setting, the temperature is 78 degrees. I know some web sites list the temperature for playties as high as 82, but others list temps much lower. Is 78 degrees too warm? I may need a new heater that goes lower.
Also, if I am starting with two platys, what gender? Also, I am not interested in breeding more fish. Should I get all females? all males (likely not a good idea, but thought I'd ask) ? or will they be unhappy if not mixed gender??
