ImRandy85 Enthusiast Bleeding Blue Posts: 254 Kudos: 137 Votes: 75 Registered: 19-Dec-2006	I just got 4 platies and I can't remember what 2 of them are called. I know I got 2 blue coral and 2 others. These are all orange with tiny black spots (about the size of a dalmation molly's spots but different formation on the body). The spots start near the topfin and continue towards the back of the fish. Near the tail the spots turn into solid black. Whats the name of this kind of platy?

Some popular colorations are: Orange sunset red wag blue coral micky mouse (different colorations on these too, but all with have a distinctive micky mouse shape near the tail) varitus platy tuxedo gold commet I think the ones you have are simply called, spotted platies. There are a lot of variations, but they are all compatable with one another and will produce off spring.
