Description

Last time this auction went for over $100, so by popular demand, I am selling an additional lot. This is an auction for a group of 3 adult swordtails from my blue line. These fish are just into maturity and are ready to start breeding. The male is a Blue male, similar to the one pictured, and the two females will be red females from the same line. They will throw approximately 25% red, 50% red and blue mixed, and 25% pure, sapphire blue.

Let me tell you why my blues are the best strain on the market. Mine have been outcrossed with wild swordtails from the Blue Golden Creek and Yucatan Penninsula lines. I will explain why. First, I will start by explaining that blue swordtails, while beautiful, are a newly developed hybrid strain. Because of this, there is a wide range of genetic variability among them, most notably the fact that they throw red swordtails. In addition, some of the other strains have been inbred to a degree, and as such are more susceptible to diseases and short lifespan. In addition, because of the more recent hybridization, many other blue strains can throw males with little to no sword. The outcross to wild swords ensures both virility, strong immunity, and absolutely beautiful swords in adult males. I promise you will be astounded with how gorgeous these guys are when they grow up.

So, down to the nitty gritty. Shipping is $12 for priority. This is the last lot of my blue line that I will be auctioning off for quite some time, and will be keeping all the rest of my stock for breeding, so I highly recommend that you buy now. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for your interest.
