Dougstark Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 male swordtail with 2 swords on his tail 1 top and 1 bottom, also has 2 long fins on his body again 1 on top and 1 on bottom what is this type called? Could be lyretail or hifin lyretail depending on size of top fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookieskennels Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 hey thanks have just googled it and he is a hifin lyretail swordtail. Are these rare or comon cause this is the first time i have ever seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecatfish Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 They're rare because the male can't normally breed as it's gynopodium is too big . But you can breed a high fin male and a lyretail female to get a 50:50 split of lyretail fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
