Albino Kohaku Wagtail Swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii) 4.5cm

Description

Albino Kohaku Wagtail Swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii) is a striking and peaceful freshwater fish, selectively bred for its vibrant coloration and ornamental features. 

Appearance & Traits

  • Coloration: These swordtails feature a white albino base with red-orange patches, inspired by the Kohaku koi pattern. The "Wagtail" designation refers to their bold black tail and fin edges, which contrast beautifully with the body 
  • Sexual Dimorphism: Males have the signature elongated lower tail fin ("sword"), while females are typically larger and rounder without the sword 
  • Size: Adults reach about 4 inches (10 cm), with females slightly larger

Tank Requirements

  • Tank Size: Minimum 20–30 gallons for a small group; larger tanks recommended for breeding setups
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C)
    • pH: 7.0–8.0
    • KH: 12–30
  • Aquascaping: They appreciate live plants, floating vegetation, and open swimming space. Avoid fin-nipping tank mates 

Diet

  • Omnivorous: Feed a varied diet including:
    • High-quality vegetable and protein-based flakes
    • Sinking micro pellets
    • Frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia 

Breeding & Behavior

  • Livebearers: Females give birth to live fry, often producing 20–40 fry monthly 
  • Social: Best kept in groups of 3 or more, ideally with multiple females per male to reduce harassment 
  • Hardy & Peaceful: Great for community tanks with other peaceful species.
