Red Velvet Swordtail - 2 Inch

The Red Velvet Swordtail is a unique color morph of the popular Swordtail fish, Xiphophorus helleri. This variation boasts a stunning, deep red coloration with hints of orange and black in the tail. The male has short, sleek fins with a distinct extension on the lower part of the tail, while the female, although lacking the male's sword-like tail, exhibits a breathtaking deep red coloration. Farm-raised Velvet Wags are known for their vibrant colors, making them a better choice compared to imported specimens from pet stores. The Red Velvet Wag Swordtail enjoys a diet of commercially prepared flaked foods, freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, brine shrimp, and algae.
