Question What is your favorite Livebearer?

What is ur favorite Livebearer? Mine would have to be Mollies, because the balloon mollies are so cute!!

BUT i think pipe fish are livebearers because they lay eggs, but they put them in the male!! and then he gives birth to them!! SOO if pipe fish are livebearers there my fav. !!!!

I breed and raised marble mollies for a while and had quite a bit of fun doing it. I even sold a few to lfss. I eventualy put a bunch of them in an outside pond but a kingfisher made pretty quick work of them since they were easy to spot.

I always wanted wrestling halfbeaks but could not get ahold of any.
Recently I've seen them for sale in some lfss but I don't really have the tanks for them. There are so many kinds of fish I want to keep it'c crazy.

All three of my swordtails eat from my hand. Yesterday when I put my arm in to move a rock all three nipped at my arm (guess they thought the hairs were worms).

My Dwarf Gourami didn't nip at my arm, but he did check it out with his long fins and decided that it wasn't food.

for the poll i voted guppy, but i dont really think that is fair that i can only vot for one. I wanted to vote for both molly and guppy. i have found them both to be great fishes and easy to breed.

i like guppies, but i vote for other! love those endlers and dwarf livebearers (also known as Pygmy Livebearers, Mosquito Fish, and Least Killiefish) they are absolutely adorable together in a tank and the fact that neither of them eat their young! that would be a very productive tank!

I voted for Swordtails. But if I were to see Endlers and Dwarf Livebearers in person, I'm sure my vote would change to one of those.
