I like guppys, but find platy's to be hardier.

Endler's come in first beause they're cute, fun, and small, but wild-look swordies take a close second, and they're only second because they require so much darned room.

I'm not a fan of livebearers, period. They constantly have babies, which makes me consider them as the 'lower class' fish group. I don't like that they need salt in their water for 'best results', and they don't have any personality. That having been said, I like the swordtails best, because they are the least ugly. (I'm really a downer on these guys, huh?)

I have platies and guppies in community tanks. I've never used salt and rarely see fry since either they or their tankmates take care of fry control

I also have a separate breeding tank for Endler's. I think they're my favorite because they're not seen very often in fs, they're peaceful yet have good personalities, and the males have such unique, awesome colors. Endler's tend to not eat their fry.

I like they variety of colors and patterns platies are available in. I've found them to be very hardy and they definitely have good, fun personalities.

My favorites are swordtails and Endler's. The long sword tail of the males make the swordtails unique. And the wild colors of the Endler's make them very unique.

I'm partial to platies, personally. They're colourful, peaceful, and pretty hardy.

I have guppies, platies and Mollies.

mollies have to be my favourite, the babies that survived from my one and only successful breeding are my absolute best fish in the whole world!

i like my guppies cos they follow my finger, my platies are big hefty fish and can really take care of themselves!

i love endlers and mollies and my goodieds. my mollies actually "kiss" my fingers when they are near the surface of the water. they're really funny. my endlers are just so cute with the way they chase about each other. and my goodieds are really interesting to watch.
