platies

Platies are small, colorful freshwater fish often kept as pets. Native to Central America, they belong to the family Poeciliidae, which includes live-bearing fish. They reproduce quickly and give birth to free-swimming fry instead of laying eggs. Platies are hardy, adaptable, and come in a variety of vibrant colors, making them popular for hobbyists. They thrive in well-maintained aquatic environments with clean water and proper diet. Their peaceful nature and ease of care make them suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
