Variety of Platy · wagtail

Ask Finn

A platy variety characterized by solid black fins contrasting sharply against a lighter body color (typically red, orange, or yellow), creating an elegant two-tone appearance — the black fins "wag" as the fish swims. Hardy and peaceful, it is as easy to care for as any other platy and is a popular beginner fish for community aquariums.
