  • Lifespan: With proper care, they can live for about 3 to 5 years.

  • Swordtails are known for the elongated lower lobe of their tail fin, resembling a sword.
  • They come in various colors and patterns, depending on their specific variety.

 

Habitat:

  • Native to Central America, primarily found in freshwater streams, rivers, and lakes.

 

Behavior:

  • Generally peaceful, but males can sometimes be territorial, especially towards each other.
  • They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their environment.

 

Tank Size:

  • Suitable for a moderately-sized aquarium. A tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended for a small group.

 

Care Level:

  • Considered relatively easy to care for.
  • Requires a well-maintained aquarium with stable water parameters.
