Xiphophorus helleri Rio Otapa

Details -

These are from the Greg Sage line. They were originally brought into the USA by Rusty Wessel, and Greg has been working on them for a while. They have nice red/orange in the dorsal fin and a fair number of them have patchy black spotting on the body, making them a very attractive fish.

These get big...up to 6". The fish currently for sale are young and still have a lot of growing to do. Wild-type swordtails take a while to sex out so these are not sexable at this time.

Location: Wyoming, United States

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.
