The Bumblebee Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus) is a popular and eye-catching freshwater fish known for its distinctive black and yellow pattern, which, as the name suggests, resembles a bumblebee. 

The Bumblebee Platy are lively and curious fish, constantly exploring their environment. They are a joy to watch as they gracefully swim throughout the mid to upper levels of your aquarium.

The Bumblebee Platy are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
