Nice! What gear and what settings were you using? I've only got one variety of Platy, they were marked "Gold Mickey Mouse" at PSmart.

 

Just a few of the platy I have

 

My platys. At least I believe they are platys. They have stopped breeding so am not sure if I have a sterile male or a male molly was given the last time I got new fishes.

 

I have gorgous 4 variutus platys and 3 mountain minnows

Lights for the tank turned of btw as it’s night

Other photos of these fish

 

My Xiphophorus variatus La laguna platies...

 

Calico Platy

 

 

 

Sneaking around with the phone camera after feeding time....my new, quite young, Platy residents munching from the tree

Blue light on for a few moments only cos they only arrived yesterday and I don't want them getting overly stressed out

Very blurry due to the fact they won't stand still and be photo'ed

 

My new Platies are less nervous today so a couple of photos under white lighting....

(Photobombed by a lone Black Neon who has lived in the aquarium for 6 months and did not wish to move to the bigger aquarium......very happy little Black Neon to have new playmates, its as good as gold with them)

 

 

Some of my platys saying whats up!

 

Crazy prego rescued red wag. playing in bubbles.

 

This is the only one that wants to cooperate for photos today

 

Four male platy fish, two older and two juvenile:

 

Platy fry , some are an month old others are a few days . They are orange micky mouse platies .

 

These are my 3x females, 1x male and a baby. I am very new to platys so don’t know their colour variants! I think it’s safe to say the baby came from the white and black spotted one!

My love of the Wagtail Platy…….
I’ve come full circle back to my younger days in the 60s when I had tanks of these guys. My 75g tank is now my wagtail tank…..what jewels they are.
Red Wags, Gold Wags, Blue Wags, Rainbow Wags, Green Wags, Green Calico Wags, and Blue Calico Wags. Still have to find a few decent Sunburst Wags.

I got a “bachelor pad” of platys on Sunday. Two bumblebees, two pandas, a rainbow, a red hi-fin and two black and red ones who’s color variation I haven’t found a name for yet.
