Odd Colored Platy

[madmom]

My daughter and I went to the LFS 2 weeks ago to get my son a pair of gups.The store owner to give her a platy free. We were told it's a gold wag. I just got a good look at her as we transfered her to the main tank today . She's a platy. and a wag but gold? Her fins and tail are black, her tail area from tail fin halfway to belly is orange and the rest of her is dark yellowy but overlayed with an irridescent green that changes as she moves. It's a pretty combination. I'm just not sure what she is.

Yep, almost exactly. Mine has a neon colored overlay. I went back to the store today and asked the old guy and he said it was a something something neon platy. Can't remember first part of the name. Shouldn't have gone back there though. My daughter was given a red dalmation platy. It was the only one left and he said he wanted to clean out the tank since he was expexting a large shipment in tomorrow morning.
