This auction is for one female orange lyretail Swordtail, about 3" long including her tail. I've had this one for several months, and she hasn't spawned with my male, but the other females I have are sometimes aggressive toward her, so that could be the issue. She's a beautiful and healthy fish!

In order to breed lyretail swordtails, you need a female with a lyretail and a male with a standard tail, as the lyretail gene also increases the length of a male's gonopodium, rendering him unable to breed.

Using a regular-tailed male with a lyretail female should result in a roughly 50-50 split of regular and lyretail fry.
