What Kind Is This Swordtail ? (photo)

Hi everybody

Just wondered what "strain" would you call the Swordtail on the left in my avatar?

Marbled swordtail, I have trio of these like that except the orange.

Yep, marbled, sometimes known as painted. OMG I want him! If you have room and you see a young koi female, get her and see what happens. Crossing the painted and koi strains resulted in the sanshoku which is the nicest sword in my opinion... I'd love to recreate it but I can't get the parent strains. I WANT HIM!

Thank you for your reply...

Yes...my thoughts exactly. I do have a few young Koi and will be crossing them with my Marbled Swords when they are mature.
