Your pictures are the first time I've ever seen any. My stores don't have that kind. Upon researching the net, this is the closest thing I've found to yours (though these have some red on them)

I do have a few that have orange markings only 3 out of the whole group. I was going to leave them behind however im interested to see what babies they produce.

Thank you for the link btw.

Maybe they are a variant of the koi swords and never got their red color? I've never seen all whte ones though I have seen ones that look like they are wearing a red hat.

About 2.5 months ago, I had a red swordtail that had fry. I saved 19 of them. All were red, except one. She is completely white - not albino white with red eys, but just white with normal black eyes, and looks a lot like the picture. She's still doing great, and the same color. The others are all still red too.

Well about the white fry it can be someone in the family of that swordtail was white. Genes get passed along. I bought a pregnant swordtail from my lfs 5 months ago and she gave birth to about 40 fry and out of those 40 fry 2 of them came out with a black tail and mouth. They look very cool. I will keep those 2 swordtails because I dont have any that look like that.

Where are you located ? Might be interested to purchase your fish to add new blood to my lot.
