CalmedByFish Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I've been looking online for dwarf red coral platies for months, and finally found some! I talked to the seller today, and I'll be ordering them this weekend. 🙂 However, I just realized I'm not certain if dwarf platies come from southern platies or variatus platies. Variatus have a wider temp range, which is why I want to know. I can't seem to find the answer by googling. (Either range is good for my tanks. No worries.) Anyone know whether dwarf red coral platies are southern or variatus? Or maybe you've kept them, and have a good idea of temp tolerance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yeah, I think they're Southern platies (Xiphophorus maculatus), at least according to some of the online fish retailers I've seen online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
