swordtails

[stubbytheplecostomus]

i know that most people don't agree with hybrids, but i was wondering if there is any such resentment towards breeding different colors of swordtails, are all xiphosphurous hellerii the same just different colors?

yes diffrent strains of colors in the fish

All common color types are the same species but there are a number of other species for sale in the trade.

Different colors, and even different species, can interbreed without issue.
