Red Platies (Xiphophorus maculatus)

These Red Platies are tank-raised, vibrant, and hardy. Their solid red coloration and peaceful nature make them an excellent choice for freshwater aquariums. Active and easy to keep, they thrive in community setups and are ideal 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 perfect 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, Sunset/Sunburst Platy, Coral Red Platy, Red Wag Platy, Panda Platy, Tuxedo Platy, and Assorted Platies.
