Albino Sharkfins 10cm Show Swordtail
Swordtail fish (Xiphophorous hellerii) are a very popular community aquarium fish. Their popularity stems from their ease of care and peaceful nature. They have quite unique types of fins with a great variety of colors, making them commonly referred to as BLACK swordtails.
In captivity, swordtail has been selectively interbred, resulting in a wider range of color mixtures. The name swordtail gives justice to its appearance – specifically, the male’s appearance. The male’s caudal fin protrudes along its lower half, the length of which can reach up to half of the body’s entire length. The female caudal fin has no such protrusion.

Received the albino sharkfin swordtail in good condition. The fish is active and shows vibrant movement in the tank. It’s easy to care for and fits well with my community fish. The fin shape is striking and adds visual interest to the aquarium.

The fish arrived quickly and looks healthy. It has a unique appearance with the white, shark-like tail. I’ve kept it for two months now and it’s adapting well to the tank environment. A great addition to a small community tank.

Very satisfied with the quality and appearance. The albino coloration is clean and the tail structure is exactly as described. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. I recommend this to anyone looking for a visually appealing, low-maintenance species.
