Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Koi Kohaku Swordtail is a domestic colour strain of Xiphophorus hellerii, bred for a bright koi-style mix of red-orange and white. It is an active livebearer with more swimming power than many platies, so plan a longer hard-water community aquarium rather than a small nano tank.
Keep swordtails in a covered aquarium with plants around the edges and open space through the centre. Mixed groups are best managed with more females than males, which reduces chasing and keeps behaviour calmer.
Choose Koi Kohaku Swordtail if you want a hardy, colourful livebearer for an active community display. Livestock is sent by licensed live-animal courier and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
