Description
The Swordtail is an easy-to-keep, peaceful, live-bearing fish. It can be obtained in many colour variations, as well as fin and tail variations. The most common varieties include: Red Wag, Red Velvet, Marigold, Black Nubian, Pineapple and Neon Swordtail. The male has an extension on the lower part of its tail, resembling a sword. The Swordtail is a jumper, so be sure to provide an adequate cover over the aquarium. This fish is very popular with all aquarists, from beginners to advanced.
The Swordtail requires a tank of at least 80 litres that is well planted with plenty of room for swimming. Because of its peaceful nature, the Swordtail is well suited for the community aquarium, although it will sometimes eat fry. The male can be aggressive towards other males, so care should be taken when housing more than one.
