Hey, I'm planning on setting up a new livebearer tank, and I'd like to hear what you guys consider the most worthwhile livebearers. I've been in the hobby for years, but I've never really had a livebearer tank, aside from a guppy tank when I was about 10...
 
My favorite livebearer is the molly. They are so cute and fun to watch! I also like platys..and guppies..haha..but I like the molly the best!!!
 
belonesox are the coolest ones i ever had. endlers if you are into nice fish; they were the first fish i ever had too; just find some quality ones if your interested in them.

I love platies. They do breed like rabbits though... I remember a long time ago I started with 6, and a few months later I had something like 70 of them in a 20 L tank. I ended up giving many of them away to a friend who was setting up a huge tank... kept a few females so they'd stop breeding after a while.

It was SO fun to watch the babies be born and grow... I loved it.
 
i love the sailfin mollies. my favorite is the orange with blue specks. wish i had the space
 
I have a female sword tail, not aggressive but it did attack the platy i bought. So i gave the platy to a friend.
 
The guppy. An oldie but goodie. I've been thinking about getting some of the rarer fancy guppies. If things go alright, maybe I can earn some money from this hobby by selling the young. Go to any online site that sells guppies and you can see all the beautiful strains they have these days...quite the sight to behold.
