Platinum Delta Redtail

Poecilia Reticulata – platinum delta redtail 

Juveniles now, these fish will mature and grow out in color and size after you have received them. You will receive fish approximately 8 to 12 weeks of age. Our pictures try to represent the Sire and Dames as well as males and females of different ages to show how they may mature over time.

Their charismatic red / orange color is sure to make them stand out! Males mature to 2 inches. Males have platinum bodies and Brilliant reds tail with matching elongated red dorsal fins.  Near their head, they have metallic hues that vary in different lighting from platinum to gold.  Females mature to 2.5 inches by 6 months. Females have a silver body. Their dorsal fins and tails are a mix of electric blues and periwinkle purples that are faintly patterned with black markings. Easy to care for, these fish are a stunning addition to any aquarium.

Your fish are born here at GLA, in the U.S. and are raised with extreme care. They live in pure PNW well water with a PH of 7.4, TDS 250. Their diet consists of high quality specialty fish foods from Ark BioRite.

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!
