For me:  Mollies, guppies and Swordtails, in that order.
 
 
Mollies are by and far my number one.   But, I do have a soft spot in my heart for platys as well.

i think that molly and platy fry are cuter than guppy fry but i still love baby guppies haha

Guppies, started when I was 6, 1966, in kindergarten. Had guppies up to 1979 when I moved into an apartment that did not allow pets. I ended up doing hamsters in the same tanks later, then snakes in the late 80's early 90's. I got a 30 gallon tank for free a few years ago. Got 176 goldfish fry almost two years ago that I thought were guppies and this past January got 12 guppies for free off of Craigslist. They of course rapidly started to reproduce and when a friend offered me her 55 gallon tank for $30, I snatched it up. That was in February and I made a stand for the tank and set it up with my fish on April 6th. I now have about 50 assorted guppies, including juveniles and babies, but last week noticed that I somehow have a nice Endler male. I am going to get some Endler females from the pet store and set him up with them in their own 30 gallon tank. I had bought six female guppies from another pet store and one of them could have been an Endler or a Cobra female I got from the pet store I go to could have been impregnated by both the male cobras in the tank or from an Endler male that they also had in the tank. I really like the looks of the Endlers, mine is a black bar. After 35 years since having guppies, they have changed a lot, so have the filters and accessories.

Have to agree with animal lover, platy fry are definitely cuter than guppies! But love them both

I have only had them for a few months but I must say Ameca Splendens.

I take it back! I voted Guppies but never having owned Mollies I didn't know how nice they are 

 I have 4 girls now, 2 black, one silver and one dalmation and they are so sweet

  they are always at the front of the glass when they see me and pick my hand when i put it in the tank for maintenance!
