Are sword tails normally agressive towards other fish2007-11-24 23:10:05

as for angelfish, well our angelfish was in the tank with the swordtails too and they also got on well together, no aggressiveness or anything.

what other fish are in the tank as it could have easily been caused by another fish.

i have 8 swordtail females, + 6 red eye swords sitting about 4 feet from me now, in a community tank with barbs...harlies...whiteskirts tetras..

There is no signs of aggression.

Normally the males tend to be slightly aggressive to eachother not other fishes.

i doubt very much that the sword tails are to blame, you do not mention any other tank inhabitants though. Generally i would look towards tiger barbs, angel fish etc as these are the more likely suspects.

---

If the males out-number the females this some times occurs!

I have a sword tail in my tank and he is very peaceful, shares a tank with platys, tetras and guppies.

My friends sword tail gets hassle and chased alot from his red tail shark

---

I don't think they will, as long as you keep it with fish of the similar size, they will get along fine.

---

I have had sword tails in the past and i have found some of the male sword tails can be very aggressive towards each other and other fish

I personally don't have them in my tanks anymore

Sword tails are a type of Platty, they are very mild mannered fish, perfect for a community tank with other breeds in it.
