Fish Folk Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) One thing I’ve successfully explored this year has been merging US native fish species with Swordtails. Now, Xiphophorus species are central American, so the distance in native ranges is not so vast as transcontinental species. But this opens up some lovely options for aquarists interested in combining selected, small local / native fish with a staple in the hobby. Here are a few combos I’ve been working with… Swordtails + Lowland Shiners Swordtails + Bluefin Killifish Swordtails + Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish Red Swordtails bring great colors to any green tank. US Natives bring interesting “personalities.” I use no heaters. Try it! Edited October 6, 2023 by Fish Folk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Anything with 'Swordtails' automatically peaks my interests! I don't think I can find any of your suggestions here in Europe but they sure look cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
