Went into the LFS today and saw something I've never seen before.......well, I've SEEN them, but not in this color.....
Tiger platy.......just HAD to have it....
I never thought I would ever buy a platy.....I've been tempted once or twice by the blues.....but generally I have no desire to own fish like platies or sword tails because they're so common and everyone has them. This one was unusual enough to grab my attention. They only had one left at the store and I grabbed it...ummm...for my son's tank....
I'm going to have to go up and check it's gills....I didn't notice them being that red until I looked at these pics....maybe they aren't really as bad as they look here.....either way, it's a cool fish and if they're irritated they should heal up quickly in his tank...it's clean...
