Stunning fish 
Do you also have a locality of this specific green swordtail strain? For you do know that the Xiphophorus hellerii is the most wide spread wild swordtail species there is. Depending on the locality, the phenotype may differ. But yours does look a bit like the Alvarezi swordtail.
I love his sword, btw...

sadly I have no location I recently found out by a very knowledgeable Xiphophorus fishkeeper who has classed it as a Xiphophorus helleri saying Alvarezi have a Slender body
so not a lot of difference between the two of them

Well, the bodyshape of the Alvarezi males do differ. I've got slender and ferm build males. The ferm build males are in general late males. But that goes for "most" (so, not all) wild swordtail species and fancy swordtail strains.
