The swordtail is a popular fish amongst hobbyists, and for good reason. It is a good-looking and easy to care for species.
It is an easily cared-for fish that does well in all types of community aquaria. Give them a fairly large tank with live plants and open swimming areas, avoid too much driftwood, as a rule, the livebearers do not like acidic water. Although not a schooling fish they benefit by being kept with a large number of their own kind. Among the males, there is a distinct hierarchy. A very peaceful and hardy species.
