The Black Swordtail arrived healthy and active. It has a beautiful black color and a strong tail that stands out in the tank. It’s easy to care for and gets along well with my other fish. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The fish looks great and is very active. I noticed it swims in a calm, graceful way. It’s not aggressive and fits well in my 10-gallon tank. A good addition to any community setup.

I’ve had this Black Swordtail for two months now. It’s vibrant, stays active, and doesn’t bother other fish. The tail is well-developed and looks stunning under the tank light.
