The Marigold Wag Platy are beautiful and active in my 20-gallon tank. I added six of them and they get along well with my other fish. They stay active and colorful even after a few weeks.

I’ve had these fish for three months now and they’ve grown steadily. They don’t stress other fish and enjoy the plants in the tank. Very satisfied with the purchase.
