My favorite livebearers are the sailfin mollys, the dorsal on the males is stunning.

lol wtf! how much do them things cost? i like the guppies they breed like crazy you can get good lines and they have some awesome tails on them! my friend's feeder guppy male is growing a fanned tail. lol im gonna go buy me some big tailed males and like 10 feeder females :) and go from there
 
They are cheap and pretty common, I bought mine for about $3.00 eatch. One of my females popped the day after she got here and they are constantly breeding.

i might just try to buy the 50 gallon i want and put some of those in it. can you keep them with guppies? im planning on gettin a 10-20 gallon tank and setting it up, and buying a 2 gallon with a HOB filter and using it as a fry tank so i can get as many as possible. because ive only had 3 fry survive out of this clutch or litter or whatever it is called.

Haven't seen the sailfin before, looks nice.
I like my Yellow Labs (mouthbrooder) but I have a female that spits about 20 fry constantly. :naughty:

In a 50g I think you could mix them both,I have never kept them together but a 50g should provide enough space for all, especially if it has a lot of plants or decor. If you cannot find them at your LFS you could try special ordering them.
 
Does anybody recommond starter saltwater fish.
Cuvak, you will need to post this question in the salt/brackish forum please.
 
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?
You can keep 20-30 guppies or endlers in a 20g with 3-5 cories or 6-7 pygmy cories, if the tank is well filtered. About 1/3 that for mollies or platys, or about 6 Belanesox (max and no corys).
