PLATY

Platy fish (Xiphophorus maculatus) are small, colorful freshwater fish known for their peaceful nature and ease of care, making them popular for beginner aquarists. They are livebearers, meaning the females give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Platies come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, including red, orange, blue, black, and even those with unique patterns like the Mickey Mouse Platy.
