as long as I'm trying "wild type" live bearers...

I have a couple wild type sword tails coming for my dump tank, just to make things interesting... these are tank bred "Rio Atoyac" fish that look like this... if I end up with a pair great, I have 3 un-sexed coming, just because I like the look... anyone playing???

I've played in the past. Wild swords are fascinating. The males are feisty. Give them plenty of room.

Three? Get six!

When I had harder water, I loved keeping all kinds of different swords. nezahualcoyotl was my favourite.

I may have finally got some good sailfins, in this shipment, nice silver / bright green sail and tail, male , is breeding with a plump female, shortly after hitting the water.

I've kept them but had them replaced by Xiphophorus kallmani. For I had already number of Xiphophorus hellerii groups like X.hellerii yucatan, X.hellerii Rio Jalapa, X.helllerii Palengue and X.hellerii guentheri.
Easy to take care for. Although, they can tolerate high temperatures, they're way better off in lower till moderate temperatures
