Description: The Bumble Bee Platy is a classic platy color variety. This live bearing fish can reproduce quite rapidly. We recommend a mixture of two females for every male to help reduce stress on the females.  They sport a bright yellow body with a dark black patterning. Bumble Bee Platys make a great community fish. These fish prefer to eat flake foods.
