r u trying to breed fish to use as feeders?
rosy reds arent livebearers but they breed like crazy if you give them caves
they also fan their eggs and practice some fry care so they are less likely to eat their babies

if your really set on getting livebearers just pick up a breeding trap or two, depending on size they cost $4-$10 (around here anyway)
