Platy Varieties & Pics
Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I have several different varieties of platies that I am trying to identify. I’ve been internet searching and that hasn’t helped me any so I figured maybe you guys know some good websites to try. I know I have a gold/yellow mickey mouse, a white mickey mouse, and a red wag one. Those I can identify really quickly, but I’m having trouble with 2 others. One is completely orange, with the orange color fading from a lighter to a somewhat darker shade. The other one is a pale color maybe white with a heavy smattering of dark blue or blackish dots which basically cover the entire sides of the fish. I’ve been looking for pictures with varietal names attached but I haven’t found any yet. I can either find pics but no names, or names with no pics. Apparantly all platies are named under the scientific name of Xiphophorus maculatus without distinction of colors. Does anyone know of a good site with both pics and names? Thanks Melissa
