Can some one help me with my platy breeding? Thanks.?

I have 4 platies: 1 Male redwagtail, 2 Female moon platies, and 1 Female tuxedo platy. I want to know how to get them to breed. The water temperature is usually about 78-80 degrees. The Ph is around 7. No one is sick. They live with an albino corydoras and a dragon goby. I am sure the wagtail is male and the other fish are females. No one is pregnant and everyone is healthy. I usually feed them flake food, but ocassionally some brine shrimp. Can anyone help me. The pet stores don’t know anything about it and can’t help me. Can anyone out there help me. THANKS A BUNCH!

What do redtail/rainbow sharks eat?

I would like to buy a redtail/ rainbow shark but i don’t know what it is that they eat? Do they eat bloodworms,tropical flakes, goldfish flakes or brine shrimp? I’m going to be adding them to a tank of mollies and platies. Plus I have some ghost shrimp with them( they do fine and not food). will that also be okay( the ghost shrimp) or will they eat them? Can someone please give me advice? Thank You !
