In todays video we go over the basics of keeping livebearer fish. Of course i am not an expert on livebearers so i headed down to AquariumCoop to get the full scoop. We will talk about Guppy fish, Endler fish, Mollies, Platys and Goodieds.

Livebearers are great because they pay for themselves. You sell or trade the babies for store credit and when the original ones get old, you save some babies to continue keeping them. They come in a wide variety of types, colors, sizes and variations. They are enjoyable to watch because they are always doing something. Great video.

I guess I should have watched this video a long time ago! I only just recently heard of goodeids, and feel like I've been sleeping on some pretty cool fish! And suddenly I'm stumbling across lots of fishkeeping videos about them. Interesting how even though I've been heavily invested in this hobby for more than a few years, there's still things I've never heard of...

When I was a kid in the 1960s my dad bought me my first Aquarium and about a half dozen guppies. The guppies looked like what you call endlers but back then they were just called guppies. There were very few fancy strains of fancy guppies available at the time. Guppies, platties, mollies and sword tails were all available but were pretty basic in their variations. Nothing like today where you could have a whole store with nothing but live bearers.

I'm a fan of big fish but I always have a soft spot for guppies. I recently setup a 10 gallon guppy tank and it got too crowded after a few months so now I upgraded them to a 30gallon. I find that they are so much more rewarding than my big fish.

Another USA native livebearer is the mosquito fish "Gambusia affinis" it is very hardy, will eat anything, and is very similar to guppies, but it doesn't have much color (usually a dull gray to light brown.) I started with six females and two males, and I now have a fully stocked pond and an aquarium full of them!

Some info for you Bob and Corey, I've had Endlers and Guppies for 15-20 years now and my tap water is about a PH of 6.8 to 7.0 and a water softness of about 4.5 grains from my well. With Malaysian driftwood in my tanks the PH stays around 6.4 - 6.6 and I am always getting plenty of spawn. I can't keep up with finding homes. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada... actually not to far from Joey.

I keep mine over 1000 PPM half of that is calcium, magnesium and sodium bicarbonate. The rest is made up with marine salt mix. I start with RO water and add 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of SeaChem Equilibrium, and 1 teaspoon of marine salt mix per gallon. Most livebearers love this water. Cheers, Chris

Jumping spiders do the sperm storage thing too,several litters from one breeding. Though I prefer to mix it up with different males for my females. There is also a breeding method I use for stubborn females,I stick both of them in a pill bottle where the female can't run off or avoid the male and this works 99% of the time.

I thought those were ballon mollys! I thought guppys were tiny! They have the big belly too! I noticed the tail was big and colorful. I have seen these in store and just assumed they stayed small! The plays look like ballon mollys too! Its wierd because I keep seeing ballon mollys in stores and fell in love with the body and the wide cute face and seemed to be very personal. I even went an bought a tank to get some and love the dalmation one as well. They didnt seem to have the body but had the wide big face I like also my betts has that as well, so I wanted a female betta to g in the community tank with some of these types of fish, plus some others on my list

I feel like most of the animosity towards guppies was caused by part in "The Little Mermaid", when Ariel tells Flounder to "not be such a guppy". By using their species as a negative behavioral trait in a children's movie, it left a lasting impression on kids that guppies were somehow a bad thing. I wouldn't give Metallica a chance for the longest time, when I was younger, because of the seen in "Dont Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" with Christina Applegate and David Duchovny were one of the valet drivers says to David Duchovny's character "why don't you park it yourself, Metallica breath" or something to that nature. I just assumed that listening to would somehow make me a weirdo or uncool. How ignorant I was.
