I originally had the CDPs in their own 10 gallon tank to make sure they were disease free before I added them to the 20 gallon with the other fish. They were very dull in color and hid all the time. I was very concerned about adding them to the community tank, but was surprised in the end. They started acting a lot happier the second they were placed in the water. They love to swim around with the baby and teen platy’s. Their color filled in after only a day of moving.

I have read that younger CDP’s spots can form lines, but that they will separate over time.

I moved the new CDPs from the quarantine tank to my main tank after having them for 3 weeks. The CDPs were very timid and were always trying to hide while in the quarantine tank, but they livened up and turned very social after entering their new home. The tank has about 6 large, 6 medium-small, and 9 tiny Platy’s. Oh, and one remaining neon tetra from a school that died of neon tetra disease (Took out a few Platy’s too, but now everything is fine).
