Red Pepper Platy

This variety of platy features a deep, saturated red body that truly pops against a background of green aquatic plants. They are remarkably sturdy and stay active throughout the day, making them a top choice for anyone looking to add movement to a community tank. Because they are peaceful and stay relatively small, you can easily keep a group in a modest-sized setup without worry. They appreciate some grazing room and will diligently pick at algae on your hardscape between feedings.

• Thrives in moderately hard water with a stable pH between 7.0 and 8.0.
• Accepts high-quality flakes, small pellets, and frozen brine shrimp with ease.
• Best kept in groups to encourage natural social behavior and reduce stress.
• Ensure the aquarium has a tight-fitting lid as these fish are capable jumpers.
