breeding swordtails

[papa_bear_21]

WE have a male/female pair of swordtails, and my wife would like to try to breed them. Are swordtails essentially platies with long tails, or are the entirely different?

Where can I look for breeding advice on them?

Thank you in advance

They are similar to platies in the sense that all livebearer's breed rather easily. All you need is a male and a female. It is recommended to have at least 2 females to one male so the females don't get stressed by the males being amorous.

As far as researching breeding for them goes http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...ordtails&meta=

Zags, thank you for the info, between the dwarf gourami and swordtails, we may need more fry tanks...LOL

It's been my experience that they breed VERY easily. lol. You should not have any problems at all.

Best of luck.
