Blue Wag Platy

DESCRIPTION Platy fish are members of the genus Xiphophorus, just like swordtails. There are two types of platy fish, the Southern Platy and the Variatus platy. This website lists variatus separately, however many varieties are in fact hybrids of the two. Like the Molly, Guppy, and Swordtails, platy fish give birth to live young that are miniature versions of the adult fish. These are excellent community residents and are available in a large variety of colors and patterns.Name: Blue Wag PlatyScientific Name: Xiphophorus maculatusGroup information: Platies, Swordtails and VariatusExperience Level: BeginnerHousing: Tank Size - 10 GallonsBehavior: PeacefulCompatibility: Non-Schooling Swim Level: Middle Feeding Instructions: OmnivoreMaximum Size: 3 inVet Assured: Pets purchased at PetSmart are part of our exclusive Vet Assured program, designed by PetSmart veterinarians to help improve the health and well-being of our pets.
