let us see how this shapes us. one thing for sure i cannot have the
swordtails for too long, i.e. once they are upto 2 inch long i will
have to return them maybe... what do you folks think?

Are there are any other fish stores near you?

Sword are great fish if you have a few of them by themselevs
in a largish tank but they can be extremely aggressive. THis
varies from fish to fish but I've seen at least one that
could knock the wind out of a pirana her own size. They're
about the last thing I'd put with a betta. In fact I really
can't think of too many fish I'd put with a betta. I've
many of them over the years and they really do seem to do better
in a smallish container with the water changed very frequetly.
