Platies also happen to be livebearers, as well. I would suggest a dwarf gourami. They stay around 2", are very peaceful, and most of all, have bright colors.

I like live bearers. I just don't want any babies.

Blackshark did post "Non livebearer". That may not mean he doesn't like them, he just doesn't want them in his tank.

cardinal tetra

some types of killifish

There really is many different 2" fish in the aquarium hobby. Just search through photos of fish, find the ones you like, then do some research on the fish.

It depends on whether you'd like some schoolers or a single fish. As for single fish, I'd recommend a Dwarf Gourami or there's a couple types of Dwarf Rainbowfish or even Bettas (depending on what else is in the tank), but as far as schoolers, I'd say Black Skirt Tetras, Zebra Danios, or Rummynose Tetras all get around 2" each...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Neon Blue Dwarf Gouramis are near and dear to my heart. Only gets to ~2", and a very nice blue color.

You could still get livebearers-guppies and platies are very colorful-just stick with all males.

If you go into the Profiles section of this site you can do a fishfinder: enter 'freshwater', 'peaceful', and 'max size' and see what options come up.
