Many fancy varieties of swordtails portray males having elongated gonopodiums. These gonopodiums are so long that they cannot properly inseminate the female. A great example of this situatin would be lyretail swordtails. The male's gonopodium is elongated and he has extra finna he attached to it holding is closer to his body. Science has proven the lyretail gene is a dominant mutation (such as a blue-eye gene is technically a mutation and is dominant over green eyes).
Therefore, to get lyretail swords, you must cross males with regular gonopodiums (normal-finned strains) with lyretail females. If you can't get lyretail females, get a male and perform artificial insemination. I'm thinking about trying this, has anyone ever done it? Please offer advice, as usual is it much appreciated. Thanks everyone!
