Diet:

Platyfish are omnivore's and are not fussy eaters. They will eat most foods placed in the aquarium. Feed a good quality tropical flake, pellet, or granule, and supplement the diet with live, frozen or freeze dried foods such as blackworms, brine shrimp and tubifex worms. Platy fish are healthiest with a varied diet.

They are active and energetic swimmers that will use all levels of the water column, but primarily the middle and top. Suited for smaller aquariums, we recommend a minimum aquarium size of 35 litres for a small group of platies.
