it's been a long strange trip with my swordtails ...
It began in February with "ladykiller," the stunning orange/white male who stressed 3 females to death ... (i nearly stopped keeping swordtails because of him)
Back about 3 months, while he was still well, I got him 2 lovely orange females - 1 had to be taken back (was very sick) and exchanged for a gorgeous orange tuxedo female.
when ladykiller started freaking out around the tuxedo, i realized "she" had a gonopodum! After a while he stopped going after the new dude and started bugging the real female - idiot! Then ladykiller got some weird tail growth that split his tail and led to a nasty case of fin rot, then death.
-->LONG STORY SHORT .....
that cute little swordtail "female" is now a good 4 inches without the sword, and the sword is going on a solid 2 inches now. he's been really good to the female (compared to ladykiller) AND
HE'S A LYRETAIL SWORD! The point at the top of his tail fin is just starting to grow nicely now. I hope I can get some decent pics ... but here's a link with a blurry pic: My Album
