Comments: Platys are easy and a great fish for beginners or new aquariums. They come in many forms, including blue, sunset and wag (which means the fins are black, with a different body color. Easily cross-bred between species and color morphs and also crosses easily with swordtail, creating the "wag-swordtail" aquarium strain of fish.
