The Red Wagtail Platy is a striking addition to my 20-gallon tank. Its bright red color and active swimming behavior make it a real highlight. Easy to care for and gets along well with my other community fish. I feed it a mix of flakes and frozen brine shrimp weekly.

I bought this for my beginner aquarium. The fish are very active and the red tail movement is eye-catching. Water parameters are stable, and they seem to adjust well to the tank conditions. Just make sure the tank is at least 10 gallons.
