I have had guppies before and platys. and i think swordtails and mollies will get too big for the tank- so should i get guppies or nollies?? thanks -kristin ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~

I'd just stick with male guppies (to avoid fry), unless you can get your hands on some Endler's livebearers. I like them more than guppies, partly because they aren't so "common", and partly because they haven't all been turned into man-made creations as fancy guppies have.
