Sunset Platy Fish

The Sunset Platy is a hardy, peaceful livebearer that’s great for beginners. They grow to about 2-2.5 inches and are best kept in groups, with one male for every two females to help reduce stress. Their bright orange and red gradient with neon highlights gives them the look of a tropical sunset, making them really stand out, especially in planted tanks! We hold each platy for at least two weeks before shipping, giving them expert care so they are healthy and ready for your aquarium!

To reduce stress during shipping, every order is packed in breather bags with recycled insulation and shipped overnight. We back every shipment with our 100% live arrival guarantee and are here to help before, during, and after your order. As hobbyists ourselves, we want to see you succeed and enjoy your new fish!
