Are male red or pinneapple swordtails aggressive? Also are male bosemani rainbows aggressive?

I was thinking of getting one of each males in my community tank. I currently only have 4 female swordtails and 2 female bosemani rainbows as stated below.



My fish include: (55 gallon tank)



7 danios (mix of zebra and leopard long fin)



5 balloon mollies



5 gold pristella tetra



4 swordtails (2 red and 2 pineapple)



6 panda corycats



3 border loaches



2 bosemani rainbows

in my experience - what you've described have been good in a community environment



aggressive - a tad but nothing serious - very workable



55 gallons is fair space all though I would provide them with some cover - like plants (artificial - live or both) rock or what and where ever your imagination takes you. a few small clay pots thrown in with the blend works well if like the look - the idea is to give them a place to feel secure, hide out etc.

with the exceptions of panda corycats and border loaches

When breeding - male or female adults eat the young -



what you've described I have used for feeders because they can be very successful when breeding - for me they tend to have a short life span - about two to three years is the norm

male swordtails, regardless of color, will be agressive towards other males. In a 55 gallon setup, the agression shouldn't be a problem as they would each have their own territories.



I would advise against the danios because they are hyperactive. Even though they aren't agressive, they will try to play with the other fish. The balloon mollies, being poor swimmers, would probably get stressed out and die first.
