Received the Blue Mickey Mouse Platy fish in perfect condition. They were active and healthy when I got them. I kept them in a 10-gallon tank with plants and they’ve been swimming happily ever since. The packaging was secure and the delivery was fast.

The fish arrived alive and showed their distinctive pattern right away. I added them to a community tank with other platies and they seem to get along well. A little shy at first, but they settled in quickly.

Great choice for a colorful, calm addition to any aquarium. The fish are vibrant and active. I’ve had them for two weeks and they’re still healthy and showing their classic Mickey pattern.
