Xiphophorus hellerii. A mixed selection of swordtails in red, black, green and pineapple colour forms. Males grow the long sword-shaped extension on the tail.
Active swimmers that need some open space. Keep a lid on the tank, as they can jump.
Omnivore. Quality flakes or micro-pellets, plus frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp or daphnia, and some vegetable matter such as spirulina.
Livebearer: females give birth to free-swimming fry every 4-6 weeks. Dense plants or floating cover help fry survive in a community tank.
Price is per fish. Choose how many you'd like at checkout. Every order is £9 delivery by overnight courier however many you buy, or collect free from South Ayrshire (KA8). Photos are for illustration; fish are selected from our tanks and colours develop as they settle and mature.
