Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Teacup Fireball Platys - I have 7 in quarantine. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 My current favorite is the red-tailed dalmatian platy, because I love calico/koi colored fish. This is not my photo because I don't have a great camera, but I found one (just one!) while shopping for my new tank and he's in my quarantine setup right now. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I’m pretty sure a teacup fireball platy and a dwarf red coral platy are the same! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMYVET Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Where can I find some top quality platys for a breeding project I am starting. All of my LFS has everything but quality...they look downright pathetic which is sad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have a whole group of coral platys that are all red, that one is my favorite so I thought I would share! They are the same thing tho! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the store mine let’s me make orders for a specific platy or fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately where I am at there are no more family owned fish stores...everything has gone big box...the only non big box stores around where I live all only deal with saltwater. The closest independent freshwater fish store is 90 min away from me. Although I do have plans to visit it tomorrow so hopefully I will see something there I just cant live without.

Tim513 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 This is so fun to see these varieties! I have some sunburst, but I did have a tuxedo platy that I loved. Just wish I could find more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
