| longhairedgit |  Edited by longhairedgit Although swordtails can be aggressive if they wish, I have certainly seen them persecute sick fish, and they can nibble at each others fins causing small amounts of damage, but compared to the cichlids and barbs on this site their aggressiveness is relatively unimportant, and unlikely to cause damage quickly. For the purposes of the profiles their aggressiveness is within parameters associated with all the common peaceful fish , and as such is perhaps not worth a mention, although with similar looking fish like sailfin mollies who are seriously capable of kicking off both with display and with the persecution of inferior males who may well be worth a mention. Agressive they may be on occassion, but they dont cause much damage, as such it isnt really worth forewarning people . I'll have to abstain for now.Its a contextual issue.Its not that the information is incorrect, it just that in the scheme of things is a bit alarmist for a "heads up". |
