Livebearers of the family Poeciliidae are among the most popular aquarium fishes and can be found in pretty much every pet store around the globe. They are often considered good fish for beginners to keep. But there is more to them than guppies, mollies, platys, and swordtails. In fact, there are almost 280 species of poeciliids that occur from North Carolina all the way south to Argentina. I will provide an overview of the different groups of livebearers, their reproduction, and the ways they have adapted to all kinds of weird habitats. I will be able to show pictures and tell stories from over 30 collection trips throughout Latin America and share experiences from 25 years of keeping livebearers. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about livebearers, fish keeping, and observing fish in their natural habitats.
