These are a pure, locality strain wild species of swordtail. They get a bright metallic sheen to their body which is why the are sometimes called "Copper Swordtails" or "Brass Swordtails." This line originates in Lake Catemaco and was originally collected, bred, and distributed by Rusty Wessel. These fish are from that same lineage.

Wild-type swordtails generally take a while to sex out. These are young fish, and are not sexable at this time.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
