OK, I bought three swords about 4 months ago, 2 female 1 male. the female was SLIGHTLY larger than the males.

Sometime about 2 months ago the smaller female grew the male "sword" on her tail. Now the bigger female is ALSO growing a sword???

Hahaha, whats going on?
 
They must be changing sex. As I understand it, female livebeares can change to male if they choose for various environmental reasons, even if they've already bred and had babies.
