How many livebearers should be kept together?
All livebearers should be kept in ratios of 2 to 3 females per male to reduce stress to the females from the constant and sometimes aggressive mating behavior of the males. Provide females with plenty of refuge in the form of plants and other decorations.
What fish can live with livebearers?
Most livebearers live 5 to 7 years. Good tank mates include tetras, rasboras, danios, peaceful barbs and rainbowfish. Always consult an aquarium expert before buying any new fish for your aquarium.
