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?

There are so many variations of coloration in platies, that it would be hard to say without a picture.
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.

tough to tell.. platies breed so much with any kind of platy, could be a mixture, maybe not? who knows, it would be easier to tell with a picture
