is there any livebearers that will not eat their young?

[HiGhTiMeZ]

as mentioned above, i was wandering if theres such thing coz i came to my LFS and saw the tank that holds "black lyretail mollies" swarming with their frys. I thought all livebearers are cannibals?

Ive kept mollies a few times and it didnt seem they were too interested in eating thier young.Platies too.Guppies some do some dont.Swordtails are pretty good at hunting them down

If you don't want the fish to eat their young, give them a great place to hide. I provide my Platys with a few bunches of wisteria floating at the top, the fry congregate there, which makes them easy to catch.

I have yet to meet a baby swordtail that was not stillborn.
