I bought these young platies for my community tank. They are active and colorful, and have been thriving for over three months. Easy to maintain and don’t stress other fish. Great for new aquarium owners.

The fish arrived healthy and were active right away. They’ve been living in my 10-gallon tank with other small fish without any issues. I appreciate their peaceful nature.

I’ve had platies for years, and these yellow comets are the most vibrant I’ve seen. They swim together in groups and seem to enjoy each other’s company. Very easy to care for.
