The body transversely connects to gold and black stripes, which red dots that extend from top to bottom roots of the fish's caudal fins. The colors extend leaving the fish lobes neutral.
Externally, many but not all species possess an adipose fin, a small fleshy fin positioned on the dorsal ridge between the dorsal and caudal fins; in some of the pencilfishes this fin may be present or absent within the same species.
A thin yellow line edged in neon blue runs horizontally through the middle of the body from behind the gill area to the caudal fin. The tail fin is black with yellow at the outer most edge. The anal and pelvic fins are black with neon blue trimming.
The middle, superior or inferior rays of the caudal fin can also be very prolonged. The lateral line is incomplete or it is absent completely. They are very resistant fish but only the youngsters are friendly.
In mature fish, the female possesses a rounded caudal fin whereas in the older male, the caudal fin comes to a point with longer central rays. The anal fin is also longer in males. Greater demands are placed on water quality at the time of spawning.
Starting at the gills the body will be blue in color and will merge into green towards the caudal fin. From top to bottom, the base color will be bright green and mix into dark blue. Near the anal fin the color of the body may be solid black.
The caudal fin (incorrectly referred to as the tail) supplies propulsion, in conjunction with the rear part of the body.
Lighter gray or whitish shades mark the mouth and the straight outer edge of the caudal fin. The inside of each long pectoral fin is yellowish. The tail has a squared shape.

The caudal fin is either moderately forked or rounded. Pectoral fins are found just behind the gills.
Males can reach nearly 4 inches in length and at about half that size develop the lyrate caudal fin that is characteristic of the species. The large black patch on the side of the fish is a diagnostic feature of the fish in the steindachneri group.

the anal fin. As well, the caudal fin has a crescent of black circling the outside of the caudal fin leaving the fin
lobes a bright red.
The fish possesses two sets of paired fins (the pectoral and the pelvics), and two single ones the dorsal and the anal (also known as the median fins) plus the caudal fin.
They have veiltail type tails and double caudal fins. The caudal fins are divided down about 90 percent of their length. Red Oranda Goldfish can have caudal fins that are about one and a half times the length of their bodies.
metae from the river of the same name in Colombia but davidsandsi has a longer snout and the black stripe carries on into the bottom lobe of the caudal fin, while C. metae stops short at the caudal peduncle. The C.
Double Tail: This tail type is a very beautiful one, where the caudal fin is split in the middle, producing two caudal peduncles and what are referred to as tail lobes (fins).

They also have a slight iridescent sheen to their silvery bodies, and a few strong vertical stripes starting at about their dorsal fin, and going to their caudal fin. There are two subspecies to Phallichthys amates, pittieri and amates.
Swordtails are named for the pointed extension on the males' caudal fin. They are larger than most available livebearers so are not suited to small aquaria. Again these have been selectively bred to produce many different colours and forms.

5. Slow reactions to disturbances
6. Rubbing against surfaces as of trying to scrape something off the body
7. Loss of luster

Breeding Live bearer. Males got a large Caudal fin. Femals give birth to fry once every 2-2.5 weeks. If adequate hiding places exists some fry will survive. For more prodictive breeding isolate pregnant females and return them once fry is born.
The male wraps his body around the females genital area, so that the anal and caudal fins form a cup to receive eggs. The adhesive eggs are then scattered onto plants and other surfaces. The eggs hatch in 3-4 days.
The sharks main means of locomotion is its caudal fin or tail. By sweeping its tail from side to side it creates a movement that pushes the shark forward.
Scissortail (Rasbora trilineata): This is a mostly silver fish, with black patches on the caudal fin. It can grow to a very big size, so it should have plenty of space in which to swim around. It is a an very active fish.
Puffers curl their caudal fin (tail) up against their body. Butterfly fish only erect their dorsal fins when alarmed. This is normal. If in doubt, call us! We'll be happy to give you advice at any time.
adipose fin - The small fin located between the dorsal fin and the caudal fin. It seems to serve no purpose.
alkaline - Water with a pH between 7 and 14. Also known as Basic.
Originally greenish, with the male having a single orange caudal fin extension (or sword), the swordtail has now been cross-bred with the platy.
It's mouth if a bright yellow, usually trimmed in a narrow white line. There's a vertical yellowish colored strip on it's caudal fin. The top has a light, yellowish area that has small, dark markings.
Over-all body colour silvery, with bluish sheen. The dark spot at the base of the caudal fin is only seen in juveniles. In older fish it's no longer present. Full grown fish have a blueish iridescent glow.
