Wanted: New fish

[ocminpin]

It's just an idea at the moment, but I'm thinking adding a new type of livebearer other than mollies & platys to my 29g. What other suggestions do you have?
I have 3 adult female mollies, 1 juvenile female Molly & a male platy in the tank.

Endlers? Guppies?

What are Endlers like?
Can I just get one female and assume she'll be pregnant like these other guys?

 

[ocminpin]

Wow I just looked at image results for Endlers and they're gorgeous... Would definitely add COLOR! Can I just get one or do they like friends?

Ameca Splendens or a goodeid. I don't believe they can cross with poecillia or xiphophorus.

Platies are good livebearers, similar to mollies.

 

[ocminpin]

I have a male platy... He's going to remain solo...
Thinking of different... Guppies are too common for LFS to want much of I'd think... The Endlers tho are unique and more of a specialty... I'll look up the others suggested also..

I think they do good solo or in groups. Unless you want to breed them, I'd get just males as they're more colorful.

The breeding is the most fun of it all here if so, since I read they get to be approx 1", I could do the usual 3f: 1m, right?

Ya that should work. But they breed like rabbits, just like guppies.

My mollies are on rotation too
