As I've told often, there are more wild platy species than just the Xiphophorus maculatus and the Xiphophorus variatus. I'd like to show another one. This is the socalled Highland platy (Xiphophorus evelynae). It;s a platy species that occurs in the Rio Tecolutla stream close to the village Necaxa in the state of Puebla (Estado Puebla) in the eastern part of Mexico.
It's a species that is best kept at lower till moderate temperatures. The species itself is friendly in behavior towards others. But males from the same species can challenge another. A good water flow at the surface is what they prefer.
Overhere a very well colored dominant male. The more dominant, the more color such a male will show.
And overhere a submissive male with a pseudo gravid spot.
