Platy Tank Companions?

[I<3Platys]

So I have a ten gallon tank that's been established for about two months now. It currently houses two one inch platies. I was wondering what would go well with my current fish, would fit, and wouldn't nip other fish's fins. I was also wondering what other aquatic animals; ADFs, shrimps and snails, could live with my current fish and new possible fish. What will fit?
Thanks!

I think platys pretty much get along with anything. I've got two mickey-mouse platys in my 55g along with a variety of other fish. Never see an issue. They're like happy little puppy dogs. They do put quite the bio-load on your tank though (poop a LOT). For that reason, I wouldn't have more than two in a 10g for sure.

You could maybe try a dwarf gourami, male or female betta, or a mollie as a tank mate. Could also do a group (maybe 3-4) of small corydoras.

Shrimp or snails shouldn't be an issue. I've never noticed my playts pick on the ghost shrimp that are in the tank with them.

You don't have a lot of room in a 10g tank, but a betta would work nicely. Also there are so many different colors of platys that you could shop around for those - they seem to come and go at the LFS. I have had some green-blue ones and right now I have some tuxedo ones that are greenish with a black sides. Two otos would work if the tank is established enough for algae and there are also neons.
