Does anyone know wht the official colour of this swordy is?

The male looks like a green sword with black spots, the female looks like this, very green swordy, but without the horizontal lines.

im not sure on a specific color range, but every swordtail ive owned has had a black-based sword that is either black all the way around a portion of color, or at least has a prominate black line under the sword.

Is there a name for the pattern? Is it marble?

I'm planning on breeding these guys (they really are pretty unique looking, and stunning in groups!) but I'd like to get sime idea of what they are before I do so.

Green sword x you think? Was kinda my thought too, but I was unsure as it seemed really too convenient to cross a green and black and end up with gren and black spotted!


Is there a swordtail association or something that has listings of official colours?
