Sunrise Highfin Platy
Xiphophorus variatus
Platys are a great option to add some color into your tank while keeping things peaceful.
This fish is known for being a prolific livebearer, reproducing often in community tanks in which they feel safe in. Because of this they are recommended to be kept in mostly female dominated groups, or at least a ratio of two females for every male.
Platys typically reach a size of 2 inches, so a tank of at least 10 gallons would best fit this fish. They will not appreciate being housed with species that are known for being more aggressive and nippier, so peaceful fish are their preferred tank mates. They also will prefer a well planted tank to feel secure.
Platys are omnivores and will take high-quality pellets, flakes, and brine shrimp.
