The Marigold Mickey Mouse Platy is a popular, peaceful, and hardy freshwater fish known for its vibrant yellow/orange or gold coloration and a distinctive black marking at the base of its tail that resembles the silhouette of Mickey Mouse.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: The body of the fish is a bright, radiant orange or yellow, described as "marigold". The signature feature is the "hidden Mickey" black pattern where the body meets the tail fin. Males are typically smaller and more colorful than females.
- Size: Adults generally grow to be about 1.5 to 2.5 inches (3.5 to 5 cm) in length.
- Temperament: They are very peaceful, active, and social fish, making them excellent additions to a community aquarium with other non-aggressive species like tetras, guppies, and mollies.
- Care Level: Considered easy to care for, they are a great choice for beginner aquarists due to their adaptability to various water conditions.
- Diet: The Platy is an unfussy omnivore. They readily accept high-quality flake or pellet food, along with occasional supplements of live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and vegetable matter like spirulina flakes.
- Breeding: They are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming young (fry) instead of laying eggs. They breed readily, so a separate nursery tank or dense planting is often recommended to protect the fry from being eaten by the adults.
