The back 1/2 to 2/3 of their bodies are a deep, deep blue, almost looks black. The front portion is a gold/tan color. This is the only picture of them I've been able to find online. I'll have to try to take pics of mine. There are also guppies called 'blacks' which are similar, a large portion of the body is black. They tend to not have the irridescent coloring the metallics have. What color tux platies did they have? I have a red tux and an orange tux. I'm trying to breed blue into my platies and recently purchased a male blue spotted Mickey Mouse, lfs also had blue tuxes available. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

While the platies are called 'reds' they're usually not what I'd call stop-light red; more of a very deep red-orange. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

From the sides he's a nice looking fish, but from the top he's gorgeous, fantastic metallic coloring. I'll have to attempt some pics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
