Albino White Swordtail 5cm

The Albino White Swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii var. albino) is a striking and elegant livebearer, displaying a clean, pearlescent white to pale cream body with the characteristic elongated sword extension on the male's lower tail — all set against the vivid red eyes of the albino form. A selectively bred variety prized for its pristine, luminous appearance, the Albino White Swordtail brings a bright, eye-catching contrast to planted community aquariums and livebearer setups alike. Hardy and easy to keep, it is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced fishkeepers.
