I Really Like Livebearer What Should I Get?

[fishmad135]

i really really love livebearer fish, i have seen them in the shop and have done research on them but i have no idea which to get.

I dont want my 18gallon fish tank to be over run with fry so which would be best and how many an what sex?

i already have 5 neon tetra (adult), 3 black neon tetra, 3 rummy nose tetra.

thankyou and any other infomation would be great!

Get just males if u don't want any babies as females can drop several broods even with no males in the tank.

Tetra have a issue where they may some times nip at guppies long fins, so perhaps avoid them.
Sword's and mollies like a lot of space so don't go over board if u want them.

Platies will be best though you could easily have a grope of 4-5 males with no issues.
