i was just wondering if anyone reccommended any kind of peaceful livebearers that can be kept in a 20 gallon (more than 3 fish in it?) also how many guppies can be kept in a 20 gallon with 3 to 4 cory cats?
 
black mollies & swordtails

ever see the mickey mouse swordtails? they're pretty cute!
 
Go with Platys, Swordtails and Variatus. They are prolific, I can't keep up! Plus you can brred your own strains. I have some that I call tiger platies. They are orange with some light black stripes.
 
Platys get to maybe 2", swordtails the same. Swordtails can get nippy though.
 
i have some mollies.. u can put around 10 mollies or 15 mollies in a 20g
 
i like the platys, can you put them in with guppies or should i just only breed guppies in the new tank im getting. i will eventually get a 90 or 125 gallon tank and get me some african cichlids or something else. the baby guppies wont be for food, me and a friend of mine are going to breed guppies and trade babies (males and females) and get a good line of guppies, i think we are gonna cull them by use of big fish :D
 
My favorite livebearers are the sailfin mollys, the dorsal on the males is stunning.
