The Green Lantern Platy arrived healthy and active. The green color is vibrant and stands out in my 10-gallon tank. They school well and seem very happy. Great choice for a beginner aquarist looking for a colorful, calm fish.

I’ve had these fish for two months now and they’re still lively and colorful. The black fins contrast beautifully with the green body. They don’t stress other fish and are easy to care for.

The fish look exactly as described. They settled into the tank quickly and are active during the day. A bit shy at first, but now they swim together in groups. Would recommend to anyone wanting a bold, peaceful fish.
