MALES
the males have the long extension (the sword ) on their tail fin and are slightly aggressive if there is a shortage of females even nipping other male’s swords till they cut in two .

FEMALES
the females don’t have the long extension on their tails . They can cause each other around but nothing more than that .

ORIGIN
They are originally from Mexico .wild ones have a slight green colouration and are very aggressive as compared to the domestic ones .
