The Red Wag Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus) is a classic platy variety that displays red-orange and black coloration. There are nearly endless color (and other) variants of this fish, and the Red Wag Platy is a standout. This is a very peaceful, undemanding fish that will thrive in most aquariums, especially the planted aquarium.     The Red Wag Platy is compatible with most other peaceful aquarium species.  It is an omnivore, so it will potentially prey on smaller dwarf shrimp and their fry, but it is otherwise safe to keep with peaceful invertebrates as well. This fish is not a picky eater and it will accept a variety of high-quality dry foods, but these should be supplemented with a variety of frozen foods
