The Coral Gold Mickey Mouse Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus 'Coral Gold Mickey Mouse') is a vibrant, easy-to-care-for freshwater fish known for its bright orange or golden body and distinctive black marking at the base of its tail fin that resembles the silhouette of Mickey Mouse.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: The body color is a bright gold or coral orange, sometimes with iridescent scales, which contrasts with the solid black, "Mickey Mouse" shaped pattern on the caudal peduncle (base of the tail).
- Temperament: This fish is very peaceful and social, making it an excellent addition to most community aquariums with other non-aggressive species like guppies, mollies, and tetras.
- Size: Adults typically reach a size of about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) in length.
- Care Level: It is considered hardy and easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
- Breeding: Like all platies, they are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming live young, often without special intervention.
- Diet: They are omnivores and will readily eat a varied diet of high-quality flake foods, pellets, and supplemental live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms.
This coloration is a result of selective breeding and adds a cheerful and lively presence to any aquarium.
