Bleeding Heart Platy At Lfs

[Kaite]

Hello,
I recently started keeping fish again. When I went into my LFS last week to add a few more fish to my tank I was drawn to the Platies. I remembered keeping them as a child and I immediately began to pick out a couple to bring home. Along with a beautiful sunburst and a neon black redtail I ended up with a "red tiger". Well, after looking online for this color I am 98% sure that it is a bleeding heart/mickey mouse X. This fish is yellow with red bars running vertical down it's sides and has the mickey mouse markings on the tail. From what I have read the bleeding heart color is somewhat rare. There were more of these fish in the store and I am wondering if I should rush back to get them... Or, if I should concentrate on raising any of his offspring.
Thanks!

I love platies i have a blue micky mouse with orange fins and he has hi girl mickey mouse who is white with black tail

They have had 48 babies the last two months and the babies are a silver a proper silver like platinum tetras realy shiney

They have the mickey mouse marks but in addition some stripes altho i think these are fading lol

Perhaps he is speaking about Tiger Platies? these are red striped platies like a tiger.

This is from Aquarist Classifieds, Tiger Platy.

I don't think they are rare just like all the other platies out there they are all mixed with colours and such markings. i would just breed them with micky mouse platies and see what comes of them.
