swordtail
Pointed-fin livebearer
A swordtail is a small freshwater fish native to Central America, popular in home aquariums.
Males have a distinctive elongated lower tail fin that extends like a blade—the "sword" that gives the species its name.
Swordtails are livebearers, giving birth to free-swimming young rather than laying eggs.
They come in many color varieties through selective breeding.
