Red Wag Platy Hifin (Xiphophorus maculatus)

This variation of the classic Red Wag Platy catches the eye with more than just its bold color contrast. While the deep crimson body and soot-black fins are standard for the variety, the hifin trait adds a soaring dorsal fin that flows elegantly as the fish weaves through plants. They are exceptionally hardy, making them a reliable choice for those just starting out or for veteran keepers wanting an active, peaceful resident for a community setup. These fish spend their day picking at surfaces for biofilm and interacting with their tankmates without any aggression.

• Thrives in slightly alkaline water with a bit of mineral hardness.
• Accepts high-quality flakes, small pellets, and occasional frozen treats.
• Prefers a planted aquarium with plenty of open swimming room.
• Quietly social fish that do best when kept in small groups.
