PineSong Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have been ogling the koi sanke swordtails I've seen online for some time, and was wondering if they'd be a good choice for my summer tub. I figured they'd be big enough to show up in a 110 gallon and brightly colored enough to be visible. Pros or cons, from those of you who have kept them? They would need to live in a 20g with platies and guppies when they come back in for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Swordtails and platies can cross breed. Not much of a problem by me, unless you plan on selling the outcome. my first tub had platies. So much fun at feeding time! I tried mollies last year. But they never took off for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thank you. Great photos and they really highlight why I'd like to put some fish that are not dark blue platies in my tub 🙂 I want that orange and red! I think I have to admit I do not have space for more than two males when they come back inside if the males are feisty with each other, and from what I've read that is a possibility once they are stuck back in a 20g.
