Assorted Jumbo Swordtail for sale near me
Name: Swordtail
Max Size: Swordtails can grow up to 4 inches in length, with males being slightly smaller than females.
Recommend pH: Swordtails prefer a slightly alkaline to neutral pH range of 7.0 to 8.0.
Recommended Temperature (Β°F): Swordtails thrive in temperatures between 72 to 82Β°F, similar to their native tropical habitats.
Diet: Swordtails are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They will readily consume high-quality flake or pellet foods designed for tropical fish. It's recommended to supplement their diet with occasional live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, or daphnia to provide additional nutrients.
Temperament: Swordtails are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful community fish. However, males can sometimes display territorial behavior and may chase or harass other male swordtails or fish with long, flowing fins. Keeping a higher ratio of females to males can help alleviate aggression.
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Swordtails are non-schooling fish, but they are social and enjoy the company of their own species. It's recommended to keep them in groups of at least 3 to 4 individuals.
Possible types of tank mates: Swordtails can be kept with other peaceful community fish, such as tetras, rasboras, mollies, platies, and other livebearers. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive species.
Behavior: Swordtails are active swimmers and occupy the middle and top levels of the aquarium. They are known for their distinct elongated lower caudal fin, resembling a sword, which is more prominent in males. They are generally hardy and easy to care for, making them popular choices for beginner aquarists.
Fun Fact: Swordtails are livebearers, which means they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. Female swordtails can store sperm from a single mating and produce multiple batches of fry without needing further contact with males. This reproductive adaptation has contributed to their popularity among fish hobbyists, as they are relatively easy to breed in captivity.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
