Livebearers
Always popular, because of
their bright colours and active disposition, are the mainstay of our hobby.
However, apart from the
species found in every Shop such as the Platies, Guppies and Swordtails of which
there are many pictures available on the "net" there are many more unusual
species which are generally easy to keep, easy to breed and although perhaps not
so garishly coloured are treasured for their patterns and rarity.
We have always tried to obtain
these unusual species and in fact Monty does keep and breed several of
them at home so that they are available for all and wont be lost to the hobby.
Some of the unusual species we
have available are as follows:-
