The
Neon Swordtail is aptly named for its wonderful exciting electric coloration.
It is a beautiful color variety of the Xiphophorus helleri Swordtail that
boasts brilliant, neon-colored bands across the length of its body. Like a
living prism, the Neon Swordtail exudes a rainbow of rich, iridescence that
accentuates the movements of this active fish.
