What Type Of Platies Are These?

[omega59]

Can someone tell me what type of platies i have, is the orange one a sunset or a swordtail??

They both look like platies, not swords. Swords would be longer and less stocky.

 

[omega59]

ohh okay, and what type are they?

 

[OldMan47]

The one with a black tail is a red wag, it never made sense to me either. There are so many names for the orange ones that I would hate to guess what that particular shade is called.

The one with the balck tail is a Sunset Wag: http/blogs.guardian.co.uk/worldcup06/derkaiserbig.jpg
And the other one looks like it might be a Varitus Platy.

hmm oh okay i see
btw, is it safe to mix barbs with platies?? was hoping to get 5-6 barbs for that tank in the pic.

 

[kribensis12]

No, especially in that tank size. What is it, like a 10g? If you want anything esle, shoot for 3-4 more platies.

Your welcome!

Umm its sorta looks as one of your platies is pregnant or maybe just fat but you have one big platy! I would also suggest some plants or hiding places.
