Apparently, platys are INCAPABLE of sitting still long enough for you to actually take a picture (which does not feature a zooming, blurry platy), so here is a short movie.

They are tiny, tiny little beady-eyed things with delicate, translucent little fins. Their pectorals, in particular, beat like crazy. And they're fast! And they like eating!

I will be putting in some more water soon, and then turn on the filter (I wanna make sure the water isn't chlorinated! Fish!)

Fish are so great. ZOMG.

ETA: Moar fishies. I have decided their names are:
Penny: shiny-eyed red platy
Frankie: red platy with white patch. The only male platy. THAT I KNOW OF.
Checkers: orange platy with Mickey Mouse symbol on tail
Tango: orange platy with brownish markings on tail
Georgia: the smaller yellow/white platy
Lemon: fat yellow/white platy
