Resocking 26 gallon community tank

[omgitzmollie]

Have only black skirt tetras and red minor tetras in the tank and im looking to restock, i want some livebearer in the tank seeing as i live breeding them.
Any suggestions, i want to try something new!

Could do platys or mollys. I like platys more because they are colorful and still active. Mollys have big bioload. I breed platys and it's easy! Guppys you could do but not all colorful. If not them maybe school of danios or barbs.

I reccomend guppys I think they are very colorful you could get 2 males and 5 females to start they breed quickly then you could also add 6-8 panda cories for the bottom.

Well i have breed platies, guppies, and mollies, i agree platies are much better, theyre a lot hardier.
Ive had danios and barbs before so im lookin for something new.
Thanks for your suggestion though!

Maybe swordtails? They are hardier but that's why I breed them challenge is always fun . Also maybe corys like he said ^

Oh my gosh thats so funny because i just had 2 males and 5 females. I agree they are beautiful but they arent very hardy and at the moment i need a hardier fish. Ill have to look into panda cories, ive had cories before and i loved them. And pandas are my favorite animal!

Ya ive heard about them and wanted to try them, im just upset that my petsmart doesnt carry them. Maybe ill get some over the summer, then i can put the time into breeding them.
