Received the trio exactly as described. The male has vibrant red-orange stripes and the females show beautiful cream and yellow understripes. They are active and peaceful in the tank. Great for beginners looking to start a colorful platy community.
Donna Coleman –
The coloration is stunning. The striped pattern on the male is very intense, and the females add a soft contrast with their yellowish understripes. They’ve been in the tank for two weeks and are thriving. Easy to care for and very attractive.

The fish arrived safely and quickly. The color is as described, though the understripes on one female are slightly lighter than expected. Still, they look great together and are active in the tank.
