10x Tuxedo Swordtails – Xiphophorus Hellerii

The Tuxedo Swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii) is one of the most sophisticated-looking livebearer colour forms. Deep, dark iridescent flanks — ranging from jet-black to dark blue with a metallic sheen — contrast sharply against the lighter head, dorsal area, and characteristic sword tail extension. This value pack of 10 creates an impressive shoal of coordinated movement and elegant pattern.

Care at a Glance

Best Value – 10 Pack

A group of 10 tuxedo swordtails transforms a community tank. The larger number ensures excellent social dynamics, a good sex ratio with plenty of females to dilute male attention, and a visually impressive display of coordinated dark-flanked fish sweeping through the aquarium. The value per fish is significantly better than smaller packs.

Iridescent Dark Flanks

The tuxedo gene produces heavy melanin deposits across the flanks, but this is no ordinary black. Under aquarium lighting, the dark flanks shimmer with iridescent green, blue, and purple tones that shift as the fish turns. In a group of 10, these subtle colour shifts create a mesmerising effect as the fish move through the light.

Tank Mates

Peaceful with all community fish. Compatible with other swordtails, platies, mollies, tetras, and corydoras. See also our Tuxedo Swordtails 4 Pack, Green Wagtail Swordtails, and Assorted Swordtails.
