50 to 200! that is a lot. Will this fish fin nip my platies? I wanted to put it in my ten gallon, would it be a bad mix?
I've kept them with guppies, platies, swordtails, etc without a problem. They do like to nip at fins, but most other livebearers won't put up with it. It's the slower moving fish you have to worry about them fin-nipping.

Yeah, they don't play well with others. If you're attached to your platies, use her as a feeder for something larger.

I am not really that attached, i am looking to get rid of them/have them become food this summer. I am buying a larger tank, and hopefully getting some small sunfish. I guess she will go in with the platies, and we will just have to see what happens.
I didn't see your tank size. They definitely won't do well with others in a ten gallon. Although, I put a gravid female in with my bluespotted sunfish so that when she had her babies they could eat them, and the bluespotteds keep her in the corner of the tank.
