The Swordtail is a livebearer which is hardy to both other tank mates and water parameters. Due to selective breading, they are now available in a number of varieties of differing and stunning colours and shapes. The males are easily determined due to their signature Sword along the base of the caudal fin (tail).

    I bought these a year ago, and I am very happy. They have settled well, and a few babies have also survived.

    Over the past three or four weeks I've watched a mature and previously gravid female develop a sword and a gonopodium. Not this is to do with Tropco directly, but has been fascinting to watch!

    Fish arrived on time and very well packaged. They are very healthy and have grown in the time I've had them. They have even been breeding which is fantastic!
