Hi Fin Blue Coral Variatus Platy (4cm)

Variatus Platies will eat most aquarium fish foods and will also graze on algae growing within the aquarium. They will benefit from a varied diet, we recommend also feeding them Aquarium Industries Frozen Tropical Mix to add much needed variety and nutrients. Variatus can also be kept in ponds outdoors in warm climates (eg tropical and subtropical regions) to control mosquito larvae. Breeding Platies are livebearers, meaning the female gives birth to fully formed, free swimming baby fish, about 30 days after fertilization at 2527C (longer at cooler temperatures). Sexes can easily be distinguished; the anal fin of the male is modified to form the Gonopodium (the male sex organ). Male Variatus usually are more brightly coloured than the females.read more read less
