^ I'd have to agree with Fishy Friend.
They can wind up breeding in full-swing after just a few days of living in a brand new home. However, I'd like to note that they seem a tad fragile. I dunno if anybody wants to contest that, but they certainly have a somewhat short lifespan, relative to the larger and hardier fish I know of.

Any livebearers- guppy, platy, molly, swordtail, etc.
guppies are typically sold a feeder fish. Not so much the others.

I've read that guppies generally live around 2 years, don't know how true that is.
I've had Guppies that lived that long almost into 3 years, but all of them being males. All my females lived only 1 or 1.5 years.

This is honestly neat, and helpful to know. I suppose it all just depends on the wellness of their home and their genes. I'm sorry to have thrown that misinformed statement out there.

I seem to remember that convicts as feeders can cause problems because of their spines? Might be worth bearing in mind.
Had a peir of convicts they went territorial n a had to get rid of them
Yeah, their genes may have something to do with it, I've noticed that all of my red-tailed guppies died young (1 year max), but that may be just their lowered resistance to the water since I was a total noob back then and didn't have a filter, I was changing the water 100% and then leaving it for almost a week till next change.
The green tailed ones were very resistant and so were the Endler / lyretail lookalikes (some gray ones with red and black dots on the body and tail).
Females would die usually a week after giving birth but some lived longer and had fry about 3 more times.
