The Blue Dalmation Platy is a beautiful addition to my 10-gallon tank. They are active but not aggressive and their coloration stands out well. Easy to care for and have adapted quickly to the tank environment.

I’ve had these fish for three months and they are very active and colorful. They don’t eat much and seem to thrive in the moderate water conditions. A great choice for beginners.
