Orange "wild Type" Swordtail

[Rainbow_fish]

down at the local creek today i caught a pale orange swordtail, not like the red swords you get at your lfs but still very pretty, it stood out in the pond before i caught it then i checked the trap and he was in there. I love him, he looks awsome.

You caught a Swordie in a creek? That's awesome...do you think someone released some and then they bred, and that's how you got your's?

Could you post a picture?

Edit: You aren't keeping him with other fish, right? If he is...I'd be really careful about disease. Probably best to seperate him to a quarantine tank for at least 2 weeks.

yea, here in aus they have been wild for quite a while now, i'll get a pic asap, its in a tank with all the other normal swods and all my other wild caught fish.
