Variety of Swordtail · red
The most widely kept swordtail variety, featuring uniform bright red to red-orange coloration across the body, contrasted by the characteristic elongated lower caudal fin lobe in males. It is a hardy, active livebearer ideal for beginners, doing well in community tanks with hard, alkaline water and tankmates that won't nip fins.
