Can i keep a swordtail by himself

Can i keep a swordtail by himself2007-11-24 23:10:39

I don't want to buy 2 more swordtail female, so will he be okay by himself in a 10 gal tank with 3 small guppies? Has anyone done this before?

Answers:

He will do fine. They max out at 4 inches long. Swordtails are beautiful fish. I personally have four of them...1 male 3 females.


i'm sure someone has done it before. Get a bigger tank for the swordtail or get it a new home. the can get rather big. A 10 gallon is just too small for one that is a full grown adult. If anything it may stunt its growth and may also cause body deformation.
He will be fine by himself

Here is some more info on them
