Livebearer post - Xiphophorus montezumae

I have a group of these. Who else does?

Isn't that the wild swordtail species with the super sized, some would even say claymore sized, sword?

Totally!

pics Ron...pics...you have to "draw" us in (smirk)

Indeed - pix wanted!

How big do these get? I know hilleri are too big for any of my tanks, but some quick research says these are smaller - is that the case?

I've never taken the time to learn how to do pix on here.     I will figure it out and do that.  

Is is too late to make that a new year's resolution???!!! 

Blah, resolutions are made to be broken. Just pick a time and do it

Thanks pb. I'll do that. I think Madness has tried to "post" me through it a year ago too.

Could this thread be made into a sticky in the photo/video section? Some good info there for people wanting to share pics.

3rd-ed!

Also, I'm fairly certain that Cory has some of these, or did at one point. I thought he won a batch at the Plant auction.

It's been done

ANd yes I have some in the 93 gallon cube tank at the shop. Love these guys.

How big do they get, typically?

Seems about 6" in captivity (including sword), minimum tank size 30g, according to some searching.
