hi all, does anybody have any info on breeding conditions for the Northern Mountain Swordtail? There seems to be very little info around on these guys. Any help would be fantastic. Many Thanks,

This is only a copy and paste

Description and Specific Information
Keep in groups of 3 or more with more females than males (1 male, 2 females, 2 males, 3 females, etc). The males chase the females to breed with them. Multiple females per male is less stressful on the females. If you intend to keep a pure strain do not keep with Platies or other Swordtails as they will interbreed and produce hybrids.
Distribution
Central America: Rio Tamasi drainage in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Inhabits fast flowing creeks in mountainous areas up to 1200 m elevation.
Sexing
Males have the "sword" and a modified pointed anal fin called a gonopodium. Females have a gravid patch and a rounded anal fin.
Adult size
2.40 in (6.10 cm)
