I was just curious to what everyone is keeping these days since it seems like there are alot of livebearer fans on this forum. I will start it off for everyone i guess.

Zoogoneticus tequila - Crescent Goodeid
Poecilia wingei - Endlers Liverbearers
F1 Sailfin Molly - Scientfic name to follow..
Heterandria formosa - Least Killifish


That is about it for me.. and I would love to see what everyone else is out there.. any chance someone has Xiphophorus xiphidium (http://alloddballaquatics.com/misc/Xiphophorusxiphidiumsm.jpg) i thin i will be their new best freind ;)

At the moment I have....

Limia Tridens
P. Sphenops "Liberty Molly"
P. Latipinna


sheesh, can you tell where I get my fish from????:confused:

That's it for now. I am thinking about getting more strains of molly's (and possibly trying to cross the 2 I have just to see what I get), and maybe some swords, I love their finnage! A little birdie also told me that there might be some L. Nigrofasciata "Humpback Limia" coming my way too :secret:.

I am new to livebearers in general and I apparantly did it backwards. I started with the rare ones and I am just now getting into the commercial varieties. Aside from some female guppies that I got from Mykiss a while back, I have never even kept guppies. I kept trying to buy them when I was first getting into fishkeeping, but every store I went to advised me not to because they were too delicate. I think I would like to try those now too.

High finned lyre tail swords.

H. formosa
L. nigrofasciata
L. vittata
P. wingei

Incoming whenever santa gets his sleigh fixed;)

X. captivus
P. sphenops
and maybe some L. Tridens

Sadly today I witnessed one of my endlers' give birth into the mouths of several limias... I really need to get rid of the hungry buggers. Hopefully any day now it will stop snowing and landsliding and christmassing on the Coq and #1 so the mail can flow as usual...
