:Platies are undemanding, thriving on typical community flake diets.  Platies will also graze on algae growing in the tank or on tender plants.  Treats like [[blood worms]], [[glass worms]], [[daphnia]], [[brine shrimp]],and [[woodlice]] are all eagerly accepted.  Gather woodlice and dry them in the sun or in the oven for a nutritious snack. Break them into five or six pieces. 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.
