2x Kohaku Swordtail 2-2.5 Inch. Freshwater Livebearer Easy.

Description: This listing is for 5x Kohaku Swordtail fry. Livebearer species have dominated the top of the list of popular aquarium fish for as long as any aquarist can remember. Theyre easy to keep and breed, colorful and will cheer up any tank with their lively behavior. One of our favorite livebearer species is the swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii). This colorful number is closely related to the more popular Platy (Xiphophorus maculatus), with female swordtails looking almost exactly like their cousins. Male swordtails, though, set themselves apart with their ornate tails. So, what is a swordtail exactly? This livebearing fish species naturally occurs in Central America, where large groups of the species inhabit all sorts of shallow habitats. The fish grow to a maximum size of around 3. Males can be told apart by their sword, a pointy appendage on the tail that can grow almost as long as the body itself. If youre interested in setting up your own swordtail aquarium or introducing swordtails in your community tank, make sure your set-up is at least 30 gallons (long). This is an active species that needs to be kept in groups, and dont underestimate their adult size! Theyll make maximum use of this space. Some cover in the form of tall and/or floating plants will be appreciated by your swordtails. As always the tank should be filtered and fully cycled; try going for a filter that produces a good flow to imitate the natural habitat of the fish. Unlike many other popular aquarium fish, which like things soft and acidic, swordtails should ideally be kept in relatively hard and basic water. That being said, though, this is a very hardy species thats not too fussy about water values. Try to aim for a pH between 7-8 and a hardness between 100-450. The same goes for temperature: anything between 68-82 F should be fine, with some sources reporting their swordtails having no issues with even lower temps. When figuring out with fish will be compatible with your swordtails, keep in mind these livebearers preferred water values as well as their temperament. Tankmates should ideally not have an issue with harder water and a pH above neutral. Species that might be stressed out by the swordtails very active behavior are best avoided. **** For multiple purchases please message me to see what can fit in the same box to help save you on shipping expenses!!! **** /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ IF IT IS COLD in your area 72 and 96 hour heat packs are available for purchase to ensure your package arrives in the best possible condition.
