Originally collected for aquarium keepers in the early 1900’s, it has been bred into a huge array of colours. To this day, it is one of the most popular fish, favoured especially by beginners and people in hard water areas. This fish is peaceful and entirely undemanding, but it does need hard alkaline conditions to live. Like all livebearers, platies have a tendency to breed relentlessly and the males can be very persistent. As they are social fish, they need to be kept in groups of 6 or more individuals, ensuring that the females outnumber the males three to one. Getting an. Source: Shirley Aquatics Tropical Livestock.
