okay and that makes sense with the lyretail's behavior when i put her in with my other swordtails. She wasn't aggressive at all (even my other female gets a bit nippy sometimes) and in fact it seemed that the 3 others calmed down a lot too and aren't as jumpy. She's absolute gorgeous :wub: ...

I have a question for the general populace about this lyretail swordtail that I got at my LFS. I actually didn't pay for it because I traded in some upside down catties. I already have 3 black swordtails (2 female and 1 male) and they are well-adjusted. The guy offered a swordtail in exchange...
