Red Tiger Platy

Remarks: A perfect starter fish! Platies (Xiphophorus maculatus) are peaceful community fish that reproduce with ease. They are livebearers, meaning the females release live fry rather than laying eggs. It is recommended to keep more females than males, as males can easily harass females with relentless attempts to reproduce, leading to stress in the females. You will receive a mixture of Platies we have in stock at the time of ordering. We cannot guarantee specific colors.
