Both are a bit too skinny. They need some good food.
Overhere, they are also hardly to find. Just like you said, occasionally they show up at an lfs overhere.

yes I agree, there's nothing better than feeding them with plenty of live foods they soon recover

sunset platys are very nice looking fish there are so many varieties of platys to choose from
If you guys - @emeraldking and @fish48 - were to take a guess , how many varieties of Platy’s are there in the hobby ? Both of you have posted a lot of pictures of different ones lately.

there are at least nine species of wild platys plus many subspecies,
and as for domesticated variatus & maculatus platys there are many fancy names and colour varieties

Can't tell how many breeding forms of both variatus and maculatus platies there are nowadays... Way too many...!
Yes, about nine wild platy species. And when it comes to the X.maculatus and the X.variatus, all wild populations of both species are one and the same species but different in phenotypes (coloration, pattern and shape) which is the result of external factors.
I'm fortunate to own a range of wild platy species.
