Livebearer only tank stocking

[GallonsOfFun]

I'm thinking about starting a livebearer only tank. How many fish and what sorts of combinations would you recommend for a 36 gallon tank? I was hoping to keep it to 3 different sets of species. The more personality with the species, the better!

Any other recommendations are welcome!

I have been keeping Swordtails. They are a very hearty fish, I have to give the LFS some every few months as they get to overcrowding my tank.

If you do swordtails I'd recommend guppies and plates. Avoid mollies the ones I've had experience with get more aggressive as they get older.


Keep calm and drum on

I would do endlers guppys and platys... For the amount of each you'll need to check aquadvisor!
