Sorry, but I don't plan on posting images anytime soon. I am no longer keeping or breeding fish other than the Goldfish in my small outside pond.
I have joined the ranks of the "Arm chair members".
I'm sure that someone on here can post images of quality male and female "Super Sailfin" Blood Red Albino Swordtails.

Strikeris,

X.Helleri variations would refer to variations in the natural form of Xiphophorus Helleri, I think what you are looking for are the "common" names used to describe the Fancy strains of Swordtail "Fancy" Swordtails. I don't like the use of X.Helleri when referring to the Fancies. I do use the term Fancy Xiphophorus to describe Fancy Swordtails & Platies, but I always include "Fancy" so people will know that I'm talking about aquarium strains which don't exist in the wild.

You can search the web to find common names, but sometimes people put new/ different names on existing strains (the Bleeding Heart Platy which was first developed by Dr Myron Gordon before most of us were even born reappeared in the hobby and is sold as Red Tiger, German Tiger Platy etc., but it has the same genetics as the original Bleeding Heart Platy. There are at least a half dozen names which the Red/White/Red Koi Swordtail is sold under. What I'm saying is, common names are getting tricky now that it's Cool to raise Fancy Swordtails & Platies and a lot of people are working with them. When I did it during the 1980's people wondered why I didn't "step up" to African Cichlids!

Yes, I don't know how long you've been working with Fancy Livebearers, but until recent years most people (NOT ME) only thought of them as fish that you started the hobby with and then you were suppose to move "UP" to "ADVANCED" fish.
