The Dalmatian Platy is a striking addition to my 10-gallon tank. The black and white spots stand out beautifully. They are calm and don’t bother other fish. Easy to care for and have been thriving for over a year.

I bought a pair for my beginner aquarium. They look great and are active without being aggressive. I keep them with neon tetras and they coexist well. Water parameters are stable now.

These fish are colorful and lively. I noticed they swim in groups, which adds to the tank’s movement. They adapt quickly to the tank environment and seem healthy after a few weeks.
