Swordtail type?

[SwordPlaty]

Hey, I'm new here, and this is the only place I can think of to put this. I just got a new swordtail, and I wanted to know what it is. It has a gold body with three orange stripes and a mickey mouse symbol and orange on her fins. Does anyone know what kind of swordtail she is?

I think it really depends on where you buy it. I'm pretty sure there is quite a bit of interbreeding with platys, so most store will likely bill it as a "mickey mouse sword tail". Or a "golden sword" or something like that. Think of it as a mutt.

Ok, I'm more familiar with Platies than swordtails.

Any chance at posting a pic? Sounds like a cool looking ST.

She is alone because when we got her, my normal tank had a mouth rot infestation, and I don't want to put hr there till it's over.
