Livebearers are all very hardy and are considered to be a good fish for beginners. Even so, the Livebearers are a lot of fun and many experienced fish keepers continue to delight in keeping them! There are lots of different varieties with lots of different colors readily available.
Many livebearers are tankbred and readily available. Rare species and wild caught species, however, are usually only available through aquarists' societies such as the American Livebearers Association.
