Sunset Wag Platies (Xiphophorus maculatus)

These Sunset Platies — also known as Sunburst Platy, Sunburst Coral Platy, Sunset Coral Platy, Orange Sunburst Platy, Orange Sunset Platy, and Coral Sunset Platy — are tank-raised, vibrant, and hardy. Their beautiful orange-to-yellow gradient coloration makes them a standout choice for freshwater aquariums. Peaceful and active, they thrive in community setups and are excellent for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Raised right here in Florida at D&G Farms, our licensed aquaculture facility, these Platies are tank-bred and not imported, allowing them to acclimate quickly, show excellent health, and ship extremely well. They are active swimmers, easy to feed, and ideal for planted and community tanks.

Platies are one of the most popular livebearers for community aquariums, and they pair well with Guppies, Endlers, Mollies, Swordtails, Corydoras, Tetras, Cherry Barbs, Rasboras, and other peaceful freshwater fish.
Other Platy varieties we offer include Green Lantern Platy, Coral Red Platy, Red Platy, Red Wag Platy, Panda Platy, Tuxedo Platy, and Assorted Platies.
