Never heard of them. What is their max size? Maybe they're just young platties?

There are about 30 species of genetically modified hobby fish recently released onto the market in America, including dwarf versions of some species and even glow in the dark tetras! (implanted with the genes of a phosphorescent jellyfish).

I've never actully heard of anywhere selling them, but could these be the first?

im not sure about there max size but right now there a little uner an inch and i know there not babies because they look completly mature

I've never heard of dwarf platties, but I did have a giant blue platy a few years ago.

Just wanted to say that today at Petsmart I saw some dwarf platies also. I don't approve of genetically modified animals, but I do have to say these will be nice for people who want more fish in less space. They're pretty darned adorable too.
