Red Platy
Red Platy
Description
With its striking solid red body, active behaviour, and gentle temperament, this fish makes a beautiful addition to any tank. Red Platies are extremely hardy and can adapt to a variety of water conditions, making them ideal for new hobbyists and experienced fishkeepers alike.
They are livebearers—meaning they give birth to live young—so you may also enjoy watching tiny fry appear in the tank. Perfect for community aquariums, they mix well with mollies, guppies, swordtails, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and shrimp.
This bright and lively species brings a cheerful look to nano tanks, planted setups, and home aquariums.
