mpontin Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hi everyone - I am interested in finding out what types of Swords are available in NZ (moved here 2 years ago and now up to 10 tanks!) Does anyone have any sightings of any fancy Swords to post? I have seen the usual Pineapples (I breed them), Red, Orange, I picked up some nice Brown coffee Lyretails last week - has anyone seen anything else?

Snowman Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I just missed out on some albino koi swords from HFF, cool fish, first third was orange, second third was silvery and the final third was orange again, basically 3 stripes, they had the coolest red eyes but wasn't sure if i should get them on Sunday and they had quite a few but decided to get them this morning but someone came and bought all of them yesterday :evil: . Got my name down for more and if you want some it would pay to put your name down at HFF to reserve some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpontin Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sorry - that was me that bought them all!! I have 20 Albino Koi Swords. Once they get breeding - to make up for you missing out - I will give you some fry for nothing. Sorry about that - I know what its like when you see something - then nip back and they are all gone!! Was wondering if anyone has a Male Coffee Lyre tail - I have 2 beautiful females ready to rock and roll - but no "Puff Daddy"! Hey the Black Swordtails are soemthing I am really after if anypne knows where I can get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have a totally black female and many fry still too small to accurately sex but some must be male , I'll breed them to her and try a get a strain going them might be able to help you Its real nice taling about swords not just guppies ( also awesomefish ) because no one seems to do much with swords and there great fish I'd also be very interested in some of those "koi" swords when your ready to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpontin Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Swords are great fish indeed. I also would love to find someone with a Male Coffee Mollie to go with my females - I have ordered from HFF so hoepfully next week I will be able to put them together too. If you produce any jet black Swords from your experiements I would love to buy some - I will let you know once my Albino Koi's are ready.
