[SIZE=medium]    When you have a small number of [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]livebearers it is best a ratio of 1-2 females, the more livebearers you keep the less females needed  if you have 4 pares or more it also prevents aggression so livebearers can be kept in pares as long as long as they are kept in a large group you will also find the[/SIZE] [SIZE=10.5pt]larger the number of males the less interested they become in the females[/SIZE] [SIZE=10.5pt]what tends to happen is that the males spend most of the time[/SIZE] [SIZE=10.5pt]competing with each[/SIZE] [SIZE=10.5pt]other over females[/SIZE]
