Dark Turquoise Platy

Xiphophorus maculatus: Turquoise Platy 

These vibrant fish are stunning to behold, with their bold turquoise colored body that shimmers in the light as they swim. Unlike other tropical fish, both sexes will look amazing in your personal aquascape because both males and females fully display this flamboyant coloring, offset by their translucent fins. These fish are almost grown now, but will continue to color and fill out as they age. Females mature to 2.5 inches, and males mature to a slimmer 2 inches in approximately 4 months. We are meticulously line breeding these turquoise beauties to increase the size of the turquoise phenotype area.

Juveniles now, your platies will grow and establish their colors and size within a few months. Platies are great community fish, and if you’re interested in multiple orders, email us at goodlifeaquatics@gmail.com to ask us about a discount for bulk fish and combined shipping.

Your fish are born in the U.S. and are raised with extreme care by Good life Aquatics. They live in pure PNW well water with a PH of 7.4, TDS 250. Their diet consists of high quality fish foods, Ark BioRite, and daily baby brine shrimp. 

All young are birthed into their own aquarium and raised there for two months or until sexing. We do not use breeder cages or continuously use nets to move our fish to other tanks. All of our tanks have sand bottoms, matten filters, and are home to live plants. This includes our thriving Pistia Stratiotes (water lettuce), where, among its large roots, the dames birth healthy fry. 

Good Life Aquatics prides itself on the health and welfare of your fish. If you have any questions or concerns, please message us!
