A balloon and a swordtail?????

Question

i want to know the name of a balloon swordtail????and oh i would really appreciate a link!and image

Answer 1

I haven't heard of a balloon swordtail yet - only balloon mollies: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1062 - because of the shape of the abdomen.

The only new swords I'm aware of are lyretails: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1099

If this is a fish you have, are you certain it's not pregnant - their bellies can get very round when they're carrying young: http://www.goliadfarms.com/images/fish/livebear/swords/pineapple_female.jpg or that it doesn't have dropsy (dropsy in a betta: http://www.fishdeals.com/fish_diseases/dropsy/)
