    In my experience, yes they can live together peacefully! The thing I don't like about them is that they contack ICH easily, partly due to the fact that they are livebearers!

    mollies and platys will be fine together they are community fish, as coral reefer has stated it has been known that they do get white spot/ich very easily. i had mollies and platys for over 2 years and only had white spot once and they were breeding like rabbits.
