Phil Hunter –
The Sunrise Hi Fin Platy is stunning with its vibrant colors and elegant dorsal fin. My male fish has a particularly impressive fin that stands out in the tank. It’s very calm and doesn’t stress other fish. I’ve kept it in a planted tank with java fern and it’s doing well.
Jason Welch –
Great addition to my community tank. The fish are active but not aggressive. The colors are bright and the fin extension is beautiful, especially in males. Easy to care for and adapts quickly to the tank environment.
Julian Powell –
The fish arrived safely and looked healthy. The dorsal fin is more developed than expected. I’m happy with the color variety and the peaceful behavior. A bit shy at first, but now it’s swimming freely.
