They received their name from a flashy extension on the lower portion of their tail that looks like a sword. It gives the fish a chic and elegant aspect, which improves the tank&#8217;s overall attractiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Red Swordtail fish will make a perfect addition to a community aquarium because they are tranquil by nature, need minimal upkeep, and enhance the beauty of the tank with their varied, vibrant colours.<\/p>\n<p>Even though there are other swordtail fish varieties, such as the Pineapple, Neon, and Black Nubain Swordtail Fish, the Red Swordtail Fish is incredibly attractive.<\/p>\n<p>From North and Central America, swordtail fish (Xiphophorus helleri) are a perennially popular freshwater species. They are related to other common fish like the platy and guppy and are members of the Poeciliidae family. These fish, like others in the Poeciliidae family, are abundant livebearers and eager to breed in captivity (more on that later).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I.

They resemble the Southern platy in appearance. The same streamlined shape, broad tailfin, pointed snout, and upturned mouth are features of swordtails. The dorsal and pelvic fins, which are located in the middle of the fish, are where it is widest.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">III.
