Awwww... I'm so happy for you both! I'd say keep the lights off but he doesn't seem stressed.

I know eh?, seems weird.. its like hes fine.. he's not showing any sighs of stress, hes swimming around the tank, hes eating.. he hasn't buried himself yet, I thought for sure he would, maybe at night he will?. I can't stop watching him, hes just so darn cute :)

LOL! thats to funny, he seems to be okay with the 4-5 platies in his tank ATM LOL! but if he eats them, I am okay with it.. I know they are fine as I raised
them.

We are going out for some shirp, I wana try it, see if he will like it.. I want to see about gettting another low ligth plant for his tank as well.. see when I get there..
