Livebearers, lot number 845-1
Bred by this user
This auction is for fry from my standard Swordtail male and lyretail females. Theoretically, half the fry should have lyretails, and half should have normal tails. I have to use a normal male to breed them, as lyretail males are unable to breed due to the fact that the lyretail gene also increases the length of their gonopodium.
That being said, the largest single fry in this lot is a lyretail; the rest are a little too small to tell yet, but their tails should start to split soon for the ones that did get the lyretail gene.
