I took the wife Shopping on the Condition that I could Go to the LFS after she was Finished.

Wanted to Get some Livebearers for the BBG.

So i got 5, 1 of each from the most colorful Platys.

I have:

1 Dalmation Wagtail
1 Blue Coral Mickey Mouse
1 Mettalic Geen/Red
1 Plain Dalmation Wagtail
Yellow Wagtail

Looks Like I got 2 Female to 3 male. If they Are Hardy and Breed may Get some More for the Parrots.

They are to provide some fry for the BBG's to Hunt.

They are Lovely Fish but any Fry will Most Likely Be Eaten.
 
Livebearers are a great food source if you have fish that NEED to have live food but if the fish are large I would suggest breeding the livebearers in a separate tank. I breed guppies myself and wait until the offspring are at least an inch long to feed to my oscar, that way they are large enough to be a meal for it!

So yes in other words. Just your title made it seem like you begun liking livebearers when really you dont want to keep them as a pet just as feeders, right? Just wanted that cleared that up.
