The Red Swordtail 1.5" (Xiphophorus helleri) is a livebearer (poeciliidae) whose males reach 4 to 5 inches. Like all of our freshwater livestock, it is farm-raised and shipped well-acclimated to aquarium life. Care: Temperament is mostly peaceful. Provide an aquarium of 20 gallons or larger. Water parameters: 72-82 F, pH 7.0-8.2 (hard, alkaline). Diet: omnivore - flake, pellets, frozen foods. This fish accepts prepared foods readily, and we recommend feeding a varied staple diet. Males carry the long sword-shaped lower tail fin. Keep more females than males; active and easy to breed.
