I was wondering,what kind of fish can I put in with my male swordtail and female swordtail?
 I dont want to put any mollies or plays in,because my male swordtail kills them  .......What other kinds of fish can I put in with them?I also was wondering if it is a good dea to put new fish in the tank while my female is pregnant?.....I dont want to stress her out so that she wont have the fry,so I need to know whether it's a good idea to put new fish in the tank or to move her.......Please help me out,I want her to have the fry

Well, how big is the tank, how long has it been set up, and what kind of filter does it have?
Also, do you know your water stats? Like pH maybe? |

Well if that was me i would get about 3 more females because rule of thumb is that you should have 3-4 females per male. So thats what i would do.

As I've been told before, ten gallons is too small for a swordtail. You may want to kick it up to 30.
