Platies will also graze on algae growing in the tank or on tender plants. Treats like [[blood worms]], [[glass worms]], [[daphnia]], or [[brine shrimp]] are all eagerly accepted. If your tank has no plants or algae at all, offer a [[spirulina]] based food a few times a week. It is easiest to raise young platies in planted tanks where there is some algae to graze. They also like to eat some vegetables like courgette, cucumber or lettuce. Nuke them in a microwave for a little over 30 seconds on full power and then put them in the tank weighed down by plant clips. |
