Help with your choice

Swordtails and platies belong in this selection

This established Xiphophorus range includes helleri swordtails, maculatus and variatus platies, and the pygmaeus offer. They are related livebearers with different adult forms and needs. Keep the named fish separate in your plan: a platy colour label does not describe every swordtail, and a juvenile’s delivery size does not establish its eventual swimming-space requirement.

Compare the platy selection
Choose the group and quantity deliberately

Individual offers sit beside four-, five- and ten-fish packs. Read the stated contents: a pack quantity does not promise a sex balance, a matched pair or a particular colour assortment unless the listing says so. Plan cover, adult space and potential offspring before mixing livebearers. If maintaining a particular form matters, ask about the actual stock rather than inferring ancestry or breeding results from its trade name.
