I-Los inkemba yezinhlanzi uXipho, eyaziwa godu ngebizo layo lezesayensi njenge-Xiphophorus Helleri, idabuka e-Atlantic zone ye-Central America, kanye ne-Honduras kanye ne-Guatemala esenyakatho-ntshonalanga, kepha, eminyakeni yamuva nje nayo yethulwe eNingizimu Afrika. Lezi zilwane ezincane zivame ukuhlala emifuleni nasemifudlaneni enemisinga ebushelelezi nekristalu, enezindawo ezinamadwala nesihlabathi kanye nohlaza oluningi.
I-Los inhlanzi ye-swordtail, zibonakala ngokuba nomzimba omude futhi onamandla ngokulingene, nge-peduncle ebanzi ebanzi, efana ncamashi naleyo yesakhiwo, yize incane kakhulu. Ihlukile kulezi ezinye izinhlanzi, ngenkemba nangemisebe engezansi yomsila wayo, ophakanyiswe kakhulu emadodeni, abizwa ngegama lawo ngomsila wenkemba. Umbala walomsila wokugcina noma inkemba, imvamisa unomngcele omnyama ezansi kwawo.
Endle, okungukuthi, ku indawo yayo yemveloLezi zilwane zinombala oluhlaza okotshani, ezinomugqa obomvu ohamba emzimbeni wazo, kusuka emehlweni kuya emsileni. Inkemba imvamisa inemibala ehlukene, ingaba ophuzi, owolintshi, obomvu, oluhlaza noma imane ibe nemivimbo ehlukene yayo yonke le mibala ehlanganisiwe. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi ukufaka imibala ezilwaneni esijwayele ukukuthola esitolo sezilwane kuvame ukwehluka ngokuphelele kunale, kube nemibala engapheli efana ne-albino, obomvu, owolintshi, omnyama nezinye izinhlobo zezinhlobo.
Uma ucabanga ube nalesi silwane esincane ku-aquarium yakhoKubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi ngenxa yokuhlukunyezwa abesifazane abakutholayo ngesikhathi sokuqomisana ngowesilisa, kunconywa kuphela ukuthi kube nabesifazane aba-3 kowesilisa ngamunye. Ngokufanayo, i-aquarium kufanele ibe namalitha angaphezu kwe-100, ngethempelesha ephakathi kuka-20 no-28 degrees Celsius, ene-pH yama-7 noma ama-8 degrees. Ngokunjalo, kubalulekile ukuthi singakhohlwa umhlobiso wechibi, okufanele lincike ezitshalweni eziningi zemvelo, emadwaleni nasezindaweni ezahlukahlukene ukuze inhlanzi encane ikwazi ukucasha futhi izizwe iphephile.
