I've read that you can't keep 2 swordtail males together in a tank. The tank I'm cycling is 125 gallons. Any chance I can keep 2 swordtail males in my 125 gallons tank without them fightingb?
Thank you brother. I read it online in some forum. I'm glad you said I can bcause I like males swordtails n I was wanting to add 2 or 3 more girls and another maleWhere have you read that...
Of course you can put 2 male swordtail in any size tank. They don't really fight, they display and might chase a bit, But nearly only if there is a lady to impress with them.
You can, but Just not while you are fishless cycling it tho...

I know. I'm not planning to breed em but u know live bearers do the nasty n get pregnant even if ur not planning on it.If you want to breed them, it's better to have a higher ratio of females than males.
I can get many males ? Wouldn't they fight with each other ?You should avoid keeping platies and swordtails together because they hybridise. Keep one species per tank not both.
If you want a group of swordtails but no babies, get 4 or 5 males and no females.
Thank you guys. I'm getting more boysIf there is only males in the tank, the more you have, the less they will fight.
I say "fight" but it's not even close. It's more like little "Mexican Standoff" displays off beauty and strength.
They are generally peaceful fish and don't tend to fight with each other, especially when there are no females around to compete for.
The adding fish of course won't happen until the tank is done cyclingI would finish the cycle before adding fish, fishless cycling is more complex and quite nasty to any inhabitants.
And yep, you can have more males. They will have stand offs, but they won't get overly aggressive like cichlids can get. You might sometimes get the odd one, but let's face the fact that fish are just odd lol.
Fantastic!The adding fish of course won't happen until the tank is done cycling
