HI-FIN CANDY MICKEY MOUSE PLATY

The  Platy is a pleasant and peaceful freshwater fish that’s both hardy and active. It’s also small, pretty, and a great fish for hobbyists of any level; in fact, it’s one of the most popular in the fishkeeping industry. You can find Platies in several different colors which make for an eye-catching tank. The Platy has two goals in life: eating and breeding. It will circle the tank eating anything, including algae and their breeding can’t be stopped!

Like guppies, platies are live-bearing fish. Breeding the  Platy is more than easy—in fact, it’s really just a question of when because they are always willing and able. The females can warehouse sperm for up to six months; they are almost always pregnant and can give live birth to 10-40 fry every 4 to 6 weeks! Huge broods of up to 80 fry are even possible. The parents won’t usually eat the fry, but it’s still best to put the pregnant female in a separate tank or breeding net/box. Let her give birth there before bringing her back to the primary tank.
