Red Wagtail Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus)

Description

Red Wagtail Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus) is a popular and vibrant freshwater fish, known for its striking red body and contrasting black fins. Here are some key details about this fish:

  • Size: They typically grow to about 2–3 inches (5–7.6 cm) in length
  • Lifespan: They can live for up to 4 years with proper care
  • Habitat: Native to Central and South America, they thrive in small, warm bodies of water with vegetation, such as ditches, canals, springs, and marshes
  • Behavior: These fish are peaceful and do well in community tanks. They are mid-dwellers and enjoy swimming in the middle levels of the tank
  • Tank Setup: A minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended. They prefer a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding spots
  • Diet: Red Wagtail Platies are omnivores. They thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality flakes or pellets, as well as live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms
  • Breeding: They are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming young rather than laying eggs. This makes them prolific breeders

Their bright colors and easy-going nature make them a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists
