What is your favorite platy color breed

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.Redtail Dalmatian Platy for sale | Arizona Aquatic Gardens

Hi, I’m pretty sure a teacup fireball platy and a dwarf red coral platy are the same!

@Cohenno black on the tails of these fireballs, all red. Only difference. 

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!

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!

I would look at a family owned fish store. That’s were I got mine. Depending on the store mine let’s me make orders for a specific platy or fish!

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. Fingers crossed
