Balloon Platy's

[randallhart]

Well, has anyone had any experience with balloon platy's? Any info or pictures of their own would be helpful.
Are they similar in ways to balloon mollies?

 

[theotheragentm]

I've never heard of Balloon Platies myself. I do have a batch of fry that are deformed in all shapes and sizes and some of them do look like they could be Balloon Platies as a description. They wobble more when they swim, but everything else seems normal.

i again have never heard of them, but think they would be pretty much the same as balloon mollies and wobble as theotheragentm said

Are you sure you don't mean "balloon mollys";

I never heard of baloon platys!

 

[randallhart]

I am absolutely positively sure. They had those and dwarf platy's at a petsmart I don't normaly go to. They were the blue variety and the dwarfs were orange and red. Funny looking to me.

I think your read the tag wrong...

 

[theotheragentm]

I don't doubt you read the tag properly, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were labeled incorrectly. Can you get pictures for us? I'd be curious to see what we're talking about here.

Maybe they were just some fatty platies...

If I go anytime soon, I'll be sure to get a picture. If they don't have them I'll take a picture of the label.
