What color Swordtails do you have?

[Polardbear]

I'm curious what color swordtails everyone has, and of the colors you've seen or had which are your favorites? Multiple answers are o.k. - I have a hard time narrowing it down to just one!

I currently have red eye red lyretails, marigold wag hi fin and reg fin, red painted reg fin, black lyretail, black reg fin, neons and a green wag lyretail. I've also had red velvets, marigolds, pineapples and red neons.

My favorites are the blacks in any fin type, the red eye red lyretails and the green wag lyretail. Probably my least favorite is the red painted, but I also have the most of them as the original girl is also my top producer of fry and seems to produce the healthiest babies. Her babies are all little piglets!

I have a male neon swordy with a beautiful orange and black sword

I have a female neon sword who glimmers when the light reflects off her in a certain way

I have a female lyretail swordy that has orange down her sides, a white belly and long black fins

I love all my swordies

 

[Polardbear]

Ooohhh! Love the description of your lyretail! Has she had babies yet? Wondering if she'll produce babies with the same coloration, I'd love to see a picture of her! (But I know how they can be when you get the camera out - been trying to take a picture of my black lyretail for 2 days now!)

pineapples are my fave!

 

[Polardbear]

I like pineapples to! The pineapples I had all had the cutest personalities. They were all little clowns.

I have 1 female black swordtail

1 female light orange swordtail

and 1 male swordtail who looks like he might be mixed with a micky mouse platy )

I also have 2 5 month old swordtail fry. One is black and the other is darker orange I also have 3 3 month old swordtail fry. 2 are darker orange and 1 is black.

My 5 month old black swordtail is Finally growing!! For some reason this past month he's almost doubled in size. I'll have to post some pics of my swordies

These are pics when I thought putting black gravel over the sand might look cool...but it turned out to be a hassle so I got it all out and its back to just sand. Was hard work

 

[Nuttygal! :0)]

Wow they look sooo cute... And I thought the black gravel looks kinda cool! B) But anyway I don't actually have any swordies but I'd love to get some now! In fact, I might ask my Dad to take me down to my LFS later!

I always love seeing pictures of your swordies Elisabeth83. Those little black swordies are always so adorable! I hope I get some black swordie babies soon.
