Wild Platy/swordtail Species

[awesometimmyj]

Does anyone know where I could buy livebearers like Xiphophorus montezumae (Montezuma swordtail) or xiphophorus xiphidium (swordtail platyfish)? I need them to be cheap (less than $5 apiece) and do well just above room temp. If you know any breeders or stores here I could get them, please tell me.

As you are in the US, and if no other members have info, you could contact the American Livebearer Association.  A local or regional aquarium club might also have members that could advise.  Online sources of fish, or amateur aquarists, will be your only source, as the true wild species of livebearers are rarely (if at all) available commercially in NA.

Thank you. I will look on the American Livebearer Association and see if I can find anything.
