Product Description

Swordtails are colorful community fish that are perfect for someone looking for a slightly larger beginner fish. As one of the staples of the aquarium hobby, Swordtails have been line bred to display a rainbow of colors and patterns. Differentiating males from females is easy for even the unseasoned hobbyist as a male will develop the classic sword and females will not. They will do best in a minimum of trios, and will thrive best with more males than females. Swordtails will give live birth often in the home aquarium and many hobbyist have success in raising the babies into adults.

  • Life expectancy is 3 to 5 years.
  • Max size is 5 inches
