Red Top White Crescent Platy

Name: Red Top White Crescent Platy
Scientific Name: Xiphophorus maculatus
Maximum Length: About 2–2.5 inches
Favorite Things: Peaceful community tanks with plants, gentle filtration, and stable temperatures (74–80°F). These colorful livebearers feature a vivid red upper body that fades into a bright white crescent on the tail—an eye-catching combination. Feed a variety of flake foods, veggie pellets, and frozen treats like brine shrimp or daphnia.
Best Buddies: Great with other livebearers (mollies, guppies, swordtails) and community fish like tetras, rasboras, and corydoras. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
