Sunset variatis...very peaceful fish
These fish enjoy medium to hard water, ph8
The temperature ranges from 68 to 77 f.
The platy is a live bearer, remove the young to a neutral tank if you wish to raise them, the parents are inclinded to eat them.
There are many colors of platies.......
Like most of the common livebearers, these fish breed very easily - keeping a male and female together is generally all that's required! Ideally they should be kept in a ratio of one male for every 2-3 (or more) females, to avoid harrassment of a single female by the male.
They can be bred in the community tank, but fry may be eaten depending on the other fish that share the tank, and the amount of cover. It would be preferable to remove the female to a separate tank to give birth. The young grow rapidly.
Although the fry are easy to raise, this should not lead to complacency in feeding a varied diet and maintaining good water quality, as this can lead to poor quality fish in the hobby.
