Wild-type Platy
A variant of Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus)
Representative Platyphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The unselected greenish-gray ancestral form of Xiphophorus maculatus, rarely sold but the genetic baseline for all designer lines. Hardy and unfussy.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep in hard, slightly alkaline water (pH 7.2-8.2); like all platies they breed prolifically, so plan for fry or keep single-sex groups.
