The Assorted Swordtail pack gives you 10 Xiphophorus hellerii in a random mix of colour varieties.

Surprise Variety

Each assorted pack is picked at random from our current stock, so no two packs are identical. You might receive red wags, pineapple swords, neon swords, tuxedos, or any combination. The variety creates a visually dynamic tank where every fish is different — far more interesting than a single-colour group.

Active Community Fish

Swordtails are among the most active livebearers, constantly swimming and exploring. At 10–12 cm adult size, they are one of the larger common livebearers and make a substantial presence in any community aquarium. Despite their size, they are peaceful and easy to keep — ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

Tank Mates

Peaceful with all community fish. Compatible with platies, mollies, tetras, and corydoras. See also our Assorted Swordtails (other sizes), Green Wagtail Swordtails, and Koi Kohaku Swordtails.
