Can anyone ID this sword tail for me? He's some sort of lyretail I picked up from a LFS a few days ago but no idea what his color morph would be called, I love the blue hue to his scales ho and hopefully I can get him to breed with either my red velvet or red eyed pineapple females.

It seems like it's a may be a male black swordtail... http://www.patfullerton.com/fishman/info/swordtailsinfo.html
Some aren't completely black. 
This is one of the two juvie black swords that I got recently. This one has yellow fins and seems to be the dominant one (do females have a pecking order too?) as it's always chasing around the white-finned one. So I'm not entirely certain as to the sex of the two yet though they appear to be female currently. This one also has more shimmer in her body coloring.
This next one is the white-finned black sword. When I was examining her tank at AF, she was the one who caught my eye cause she was just playing by herself in the filter stream, minding her own business and not bothering anyone.
