Black Platies | Freshwater Livebearer

The Black Platy is a freshwater livebearer thats perfect for beginners. These fish have a shiny black body sprinkled with tiny white speckles and usually a white face. They breed easily in freshwater tanks, so you might spot little fry popping up without any extra effort. When you order from us, we guarantee 100% live arrival, ship your fish overnight for fast delivery, and hold them for at least 14 days prior to listing them for sale. We use these 14 days to monitor them and pretreat if needed to ensure theyre healthy and ready for your tank.

Black Platies are simple to care for as long as water parameters are consistent. Keep them in water between 7278F with a gentle filter and do regular water changes to keep the tank parameters in check. Feed them a balanced mix of highquality flakes and occasional live or frozen foods. Platies are peaceful, so they get along well with other calm fish like tetras and rasboras. With a correct temperature and stable parameters, your Black Platies will thrive in any community aquarium.
