    Default Favorite swordtails

    Cauliflower swords loving life after a 90% water change . Late maturing males seem few and far between in this line but hopefully some will show up in the next generation. Goals for now are to improve body size and fix dorsal shape (a bit rear-heavy in some of the males). Pretty happy with the females, but they still have some growing to do.

    Is this a different mutation than the typical high fin swordtail?

    At my age, everything is irritating.

    The ends of the dorsal fin rays branch even more giving them a frilly effect. These fish are still a bit young, some will eventually look like this: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...rsal-swordtail

    How much would a pair cost? Would you be selling young
    In the future and if so how much for 3 or 4?
    Thank you

    Nothing for sale currently. Should have some young for sale in a 3-4 months, but I'd recommend at least 6 fish so you get a good sex ratio (1 male and 2-3 females do well in a 30" tank). Keeping multiple males in tanks less than 48" usually ends badly.
