Has anyone ever seen a platy like this?

Yes, they are blue neons. Any UK people want some, check my thread in the Buy & Sell forum.

According to the book I have discribing the different strains of platies and swordtails, I beleive that is called a "Blue Mirror Platy" xiphophorus maculatus. It definately looks male to me. The book I have is titled "Swordtails And Platies" by Herbert Axelrod and Lothar Wischnath ISBN 0-86622-090-9. It has a lot of pictures and detailed info about the differences between the various Xiphophorus species both the wild ones and the standard pet store strains. Some of my Salt & Pepper platies have a fews of the shiney blue scales. Looks neat when they have them all over.

You were right, that did take a while. It's still a really nice platy, though. I wish I had some.

I especially liked the Dashboard Confessional in the backgound. Awesome.
