So I am giving my two goldfish to my mom for Christmas. *Getting her a cute little mini bow or Eclipse 5 for them, too* Which leaves my little Hitler all alone in the tank. I was thinking, since I have 6 bettas, and probably 7 tomorrow, or 8 even, that I should get some livebearers to produce little snacks for em. Plus, babies are fun!

So my questions to you are:
1. Which is the best livebearer to have. I have had mollies before that had babies, but they all FREAKED OUT and went psycho and murdered each other in an attempt to keep the babies safe or something. It was strange. The mother killed the other fish when they got near her school of babies. So, I dunno about Mollies. *the mother later died herself from a parasite that I think she got from being so stressed and suseptable* Guppies are pretty, but wouldn't they eat the babies like I eat french fries?? Are there any other livebearers I could get a pair of that would be good? Oh, and they have to be kept with the sucker fish, too. Unless I give him to my mom. :( But I've become quite attached to little Hitler. Sniff. Heh.

2. I had another one... I know I did... Ummm. Oh well. Haha.
 
Platies are superb if you ask me!! I love mine, they're great little fish. They come in VERY pretty colors, and they breed like mad. They have great little temperments too, I haven't found anything I don't like about them yet. I'd say get a male and 2 females and you'd be set. :thumbs:

You've also got the option of swordtails, but they grow a bit larger and your tank is pretty small.
 
personally i would go with the swordtail just because i like the way they look but its your choice. you could go with mollies agian but try to get a different kind of molly
