Platy is a small peaceful fish and even though they are not considered shoaling or schooling fish, they are much happier when kept in a small group. They are very active and love breeding. They spend most of their time swimming in small groups in the middle of the water column, among the plants and hiding between the floating leaves.
The White Mickey Platy is known for its hidden Mickey Mouse design near its tail, it’s beautiful contrast of white, red, and black makes it an attractive addition in both planted and community aquariums.
