Goliad Farms is a family-owned tropical fish hatchery located in historic Goliad County, Texas. For over 30 years Goliad Farms has produced award winning tropical fish. We only sell fish we raise, and we focus on producing healthy, beautiful fish by selecting the best breeders and maintaining them in a high-quality environment.

Charles discusses selecting breeders for our Flame Variatus strain. After the video Charles provides a long (maybe too long) whiteboard discussion of color and fin genes in swordtails and platies. The colors discussed are red, yellow, black, and leucistic (this characteristic modifies the other colors). The fin types include hifin, plumetail, and lyretail.

Charles chooses breeders of Skyblue OB Peacocks and Red Tuxedo Swordtails. These two varieties are poly-cultured in the same 300-gallon vat.
