axolotl-danio Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 The Neighbours brought me 4 fish for collecting their mail when they were away. I got 2 lemon tetras, 1 sunset platy and one other platy which she said was sold to her as a bumblebee platy. I did a google search for bumblebee platy and nothing came up so I think it may have been sold under the wrong colour name. It basically has the same colouring as a bumblebee gobie (not quite as uniform) and I was wondering: what is the correct name for this colour type? Thanks :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Is it striped like a bumblebee goby?? Or is it just black & yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl-danio Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 It has a black head and a black stripe in the middle. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axolotl-danio Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 It is definitely a platy. I have 2 sunset platies that are the same shape. I hope it is already pregnant so I can get more that colour as all my other platies are females. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatopia Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 i'd say its a yellow and black platy hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfishfanatic Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 They came in on the suppliers lists as bumble bee platys, basicaly just a yellow and black colouration. Nice fish though. Also seen at my local fish shop there are panda platys as well, half white and half black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
