Red Lyretail Swordtails (Xiphophorus helleri) are a vibrant addition to any freshwater aquarium.  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.

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:

Our Tank Water Parameters

GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4
TDS: 180 to 250

We feed them a mix of frozen brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.
