The Red Lyretail Swordtail is a special and not very common fish that can make your freshwater aquarium look pretty. This fish is beautiful with a red body and fins, and both males and females have tails that look like a lyre, a musical instrument. Males also have a sword-like extension at the bottom of their tails.
In their natural home, Swordtails live in rivers with fast-moving water, so they like a tank with lots of plants and space to swim. Because they are active, it's a good idea to have a secure cover for the tank.
Red Lyretail Swordtails are a good choice for both beginners and experienced aquarium keepers. They are peaceful and can live with other gentle fish. But, be careful because male Swordtails might be territorial and show aggression to each other, so keep an eye on them or separate them if needed.
These fish give birth to live babies. If you want them to breed, use a special box for the babies or give them floating cover to keep the babies safe from the adults.
Red Lyretail Swordtails eat different kinds of food, like flaked foods and algae you can buy from the store. You can also give them freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp.
