Variety of Swordtail · green

Ask Finn

The natural wild-type coloration of the swordtail, featuring an olive-green to brown body with a faint lateral stripe and the characteristic elongated lower caudal fin lobe in males. It is the closest in appearance to the wild fish and is hardy and active, suitable for community tanks with hard, alkaline water.
