Freshwater Fish
Assorted Swordtails.
Swordtails in assorted colors, the males trailing the signature sword off the tail. Active, peaceful livebearers that are about as beginner-friendly as it gets — give them some swimming room and they'll thrive in a community tank.
Live fish are priced per supplier batch — prices may vary. Call to confirm current pricing.

Good tank mates
We don't have a set temperament or community rating filled in on this listing, so to be safe: compatibility depends on the individual fish and the mix you pick. Swordtails are generally easy-going livebearers that get along in active community setups, but the right tankmates vary, so avoid known fin-nippers and anything aggressive or big enough to eat them, and call us or stop in for pairing advice on the fish you're choosing.
Good to know
Male swordtails grow the long, sword-like extension off the bottom of the tail that gives the fish its name.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
