Grade A Blood Red Lyretail Swordtails (Xiphophorus helleri) are a vibrant addition to any freshwater aquarium. These are high grade swordtails which are selectively bred for the deepest red coloration and long fins.

Grade A Blood Red Lyretail Swordtails are lively and curious fish, constantly exploring their environment. They are a joy to watch as they gracefully swim throughout the mid to upper levels of your aquarium.

Grade A Blood Red Lyretail Swordtails are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
