why do u say it is dwarf?

what i am thinking it is a reg platy that is a) young b) kept in a small tank when young so the growth makes it not as long,

but i am guessing it might be young.

freind of mine had that same problem. but well dont get to excited, it doesnt stay dwarf for long. but they dont get as large as a normal platty.

she had 3 of them and next thing we knew, they mutlipled as fast as guppies. went from 3 to about 15 or so now.

but they are a nice addition to a community tank

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

yes, there really is a dwarf platy they stay at the max of 2 inches when fully grown, i've kept these fish for almost 2 years now, and yes they multiply quickly because they are ofcourse prolific. dish dude try to google coral platy or see this link.
