Sarah . A . - 2004-01-18 I like going to this site for answers to my livebearer questions.I own 4 swordtails,if you include the baby fry,1 large female guppie,and 30 of her fry.People say livebearers are only for beginners,but I like having fish that are easy to breed and tell apart.I could not imagine having a tank without atleast 2 livebearers.I would like to see more pictures or swordtail colors on this site.I enjoy seeing some of the vast color types!Thanks!
Julie Ward - 2003-09-04 How long before you are able to distinguish the male from female swordfish fry? So far I have about 20 fry but all look like females, does it take awhile for male tail to grow?
Iv - 2003-08-27 You can breed these fish and then raise the fry keep some for yourself and sell some to small pet shops for in store credit. Very cool fish, you can mix colors and make different patterns with the generations of your original mix.
The most popular fish next to the Guppy is most certainly the Swordtail!

Remember to cover the top of your tank -- they are prone to jump out~! Avoid giving them a complete change of freshwater.
