Care Guide:

Montezuma Swordtails - Rio Tamasopo 

Captive Bred - UK

We maintain several different colonies of these and periodically swap males in/out in order to maintain genetic viability.

Size: 2cm+ (Roughly Endlers Guppy sized - Unsexed)

Adult Size: 6-7cm+ / Males have swords up to 6" long, the longest of all the Swordtail species. 

Temperature: 23 - 28°C

Diet: Frozen and live foods, flakes and granules 

Habitat: Aside from needing a good amount of minerals in the water to really do well, they're generally easy to please. They are extremely fast swimmers and very active, reasonably anything shorter than around a 3ft tank may not give them enough space especially as adults.

They are mostly algivorous in the wild and we have been feeding them mostly high-algae gel foods like our Plecos. 

The fry are small and do best with lots of floating cover, high flow with no areas of respite can stop new ones growing out.
