what kind of swordtail is this?

[longhorn13]

this is one of my 8 month old swordtails...up until about a month or so ago i thought it was a female, and then she goes and becomes a boy!

what is this color variation called? i always thought it looked like a trout...

I am thinking neon....but maybe not....

I always find this site good at IDing swordies and platies

Swordie ID

I tried finding it but it was taking ages to load

Opps sorry posted in the wrong section...

Nice green swordtail you have there

i didn't think it looked like a green sword, it's got the spots, but the pictured greens i've seen don't have the orange fins

That may be a mutated colour strain, from 2 differently coloured parents. Never seen one like that though.

I tried brightening up your picture a little to get a better look. Does the enhanced picture below depict his colors correctly?

 

[longhorn13]

a little bright, but yes for the most part

oh, and he's got a sister that looks just like him
