Arrow Platys

[Ddraig Goch]

I saw these 'arrow platys' on a website the other day , I think they're a new colour variation as I don't get many results when doing a search for them.

They appear to be a cross between a mickey mouse platy and a comet platy.

Unfortunately I don't have a comet at this time , but when I find one I'm going to try to breed some of these arrow platys for myself.

That sounds really cute. Do you happen to have the website address, as I am curious to see them?

Good luck breeding, let us know how they come out!

I saw them on the 'Trimar' site (a UK online fish shop), they had a picture in their gallery but have since removed it. They were yellow arrow platys, they are still selling them but there's no pic and I can't find them anywhere else, sorry.

If I manage to breed one I'll post a pic , but I have to get a comet first.

How dare they take the picture off before I could see it...the nerve of them!

What kind of Comet are you thinking of getting?

 

[Ddraig Goch]

I’ve sent them an e-mail asking for them to put a picture up , If they do I'll post a link.

I don't know what kind of comet, I'm limited in the number of LFS's here so I guess I'll get the first one I see!!

P.s. Cute miniature appaloosa, is it one of yours?

 

[Annastasia]

Ah, okay, I was just wondering if you wanted a Blue, or a Sunset, or an Orange or whatever! I guess you'll just have to see what you can get!

Yay that you emailed them...hopefully they'll put that little bugger back up for me to see...

Yes, he's one of my horses. He's actually a Pintaloosa. Is the one in your avatar your's? Halflinger, Belgian...what breed?

 

[Ddraig Goch]

Wow, I've never heard of a Pintaloosa before, he’s nice.

Yes he's mine, he's a Welsh Mountain pony (section A). Ironically his name is Arrow! I choose the picture because he is sticking his tongue out, naughty pony!

What color were these arrow Platies? Because it would be cool if you could use Blue Comets, and then maybe have some dark blue markings..I don't know, just a idea. Of course, you'd have to get blue Comets first.

Okay you two! I realize that horses are livebearers But....

 

[Ddraig Goch]

Sorry paulthegreat
The arrow platys were yellow, but I guess they could be bred to be most colours.
If I can get a blue comet it would be great as most of my platys are red or yellow ATM.

Hey I am just teasing A blue comet arrow platy sounds like to see pictures of something like that. How soon are you going to get started on that project?

The second she sees a Comet Platy, I bet.

 

[Ddraig Goch]

Yep!

My very LPS is closed 'till Tuesday , and he didn't have any comets when I was there last , so it'll hopefully be within the next couple of weeks when I get a chance to travel to the other LPS's.

Don't worry paulthegreat, we didn't take it personally but horsey pics are on the pet topic now.

 

[Ddraig Goch]

Having looked at the gallery thread I just want to clarify that what I call a 'Comet Platy' some of you might call a 'Twin-bar Platy'.

Since I can't find a picture of these 'Arrow Platys' I've decided to create a digital representation of what they look like.
This is not an actual photo.

I still havn't found any Comet/Twin-bar Platys but my friend has some fry, so I might have to wait a few months but I will be breeding some....... one day!!!

 

[Annastasia]

So that's an Arrow Platy! Yep, here we call them Twinbars. I was envisioning some kind of black marking shaped like an arrow pointing towards the tail. Boy was I off!

I think they'll look good once you get to breeding them, though! Keep us updated...I'd really like to see how they turn out.

By the way, Comet/Twinbar Platy comment noted. Thanks.
