The 'high-fin' in this platy's name refers to a selectively bred dorsal fin that stands taller than the wild-type original — purely cosmetic, no functional advantage, just decades of hobbyist breeders picking for the tallest fin in each generation. Assorted and unsorted here, so colors run the full platy spectrum while every fish carries that elevated fin.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful · Max size: ~2.5" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet + algae
