Large Male Pineapple Swordtail

[Gill]

I have 2 Male Swords.

The larger of the 2 is getting vertical stripes.

IS this normal.

It also has a very very long tail.

I have 1 Large Male Pineapple Swordtail and yes that is normal.

But having 2 males may be a bad thing.
Thay may fight.
I had 2 males and 2 females and 1 male killed the other male.

I took a picture of my swordtail (not a good one)

Thanks.

Just wondered is all.
The males have been together since i got the tank, and I got them as they were following each other around in the tank they were in @ the LFS.

They have never fought with each other, and the large 1 is so much larger than the smaller male. He has very nice finnage and looking at your pic SteveB, he looks kinda the same but alot bigger and his tail is huge.

You know He is not ever bothered by the Cherry Barbs and has never had his tail nipped. Not even by the Angels I had.

he is much bigger than Bleu.

DAMMIT if only Digicam would let me take pix when not plugged into the PC.
Then I would definetly have some very cool pix to show off.
