The Santa Claus Koi Swordtail or Koi Swordtail. Males also have a “sword” that is an extension off of the caudal fin. Females will not have this trait. These Koi swordtails sometimes referred to as Kohaku after the red and white pond fish Koi, have an overall transparent white body with various sizes of reddish-orange patches. Swordtails are livebearers, meaning that females will produce live fry in abundance. It is best to keep multiple females per a single male, as male swordtails tend to frequently harass females. These fish are very prolific without intervention, and sperm from males can be stored in females for several months. If you want to avoid your tank filling up with swordtails, we advise to stick to purchasing one sex. Adult Koi swordtails can reach a size of approximately 4″, with females averaging on the larger side.
