PRODUCT Details

Assorted Swordtail 5cm offers a mixed group of assorted swordtail fish in different colours and patterns, depending on availability. Swordtails are classic livebearer aquarium fish, known for their elongated tail “sword”, active behaviour and hardy nature when kept in clean, stable water.
At approximately 5 cm, these swordtails are well‑started juveniles that will continue to grow, fill out and develop their adult colours and finnage in your aquarium.

Basic Care for Swordtail 5cm

  • Tank size:
    A minimum of 75L is recommended for a small group of Assorted Swordtail 5cm, with larger tanks preferred for mixed livebearer communities.
  • Water parameters (general guide):
    • Temperature: around 24–28°C
    • pH: roughly 7.0–8.2
    • Prefer harder, more alkaline water with some mineral content
  • Diet:
    Assorted swordtail fish are omnivores with a strong appetite. Offer quality flakes or pellets as a staple, plus vegetable‑based foods (spirulina, blanched greens, algae wafers) and occasional frozen or live foods like brine shrimp or daphnia to support colour, growth and breeding condition.
  • Temperament:
    Generally peaceful but active. Best kept with other community fish that enjoy similar water conditions and are not fin‑nippers. Males can be a little boisterous with each other, so provide space and cover.

Notes on Buying Assorted Swordtail 5cm

Because this is an Assorted Swordtail 5cm listing, individual colours and patterns will vary from fish to fish. Each group will contain a mix of different looks, giving your aquarium a lively, varied and natural appearance.
If you plan to breed your assorted swordtail, aim for a ratio of around one male to two or three females and provide plenty of plants or hiding spaces for fry.
