The variable platyfish (Xiphophorus variatus), also known as variatus platy or variegated platy, is a species of freshwater fish in the Poeciliidae family of the order Cyprinodontiformes. A live-bearing fish, it is native to southern Tamaulipas and northern Veracruz states in northeastern Mexico. Due to its prolific breeding, it is a popular fish in the aquarium trade, as are hybrids with other members of its genus, most notably the southern platyfish. It grows to 7.0 cm (2.8 in) and it comes from America.
