Southern Platyfish
Xiphophorus maculatus
Southern platyfish inhabit warm streams, ditches, ponds, and vegetated freshwater margins. They feed opportunistically on algae, plant matter, insect larvae, and small crustaceans. Adults are livebearers, with females releasing fully formed young rather than laying exposed eggs.
