[I Like Rare Fish]

What is this fish? They’ve bred at least twice In less than 5 months. They are in an outside patio tank with lots of plants, and 6 Uruguayan cichlids + 3 Flagfish. The name is just on the tip of my tongue…

That’s a platy. I have one that is older but looks exactly like it

Doesn’t act like a Platy. They will both stop eating

These are Xiphophorus variatus, also known as variatus platy.
So, ilovehorses52 has replied correctly.

Already been stated by two others but I'd definitely say it's a platy. They're quite pretty, it's hard to come across variatus platys that look that nice, at least in the LFS-s I'm close to!
