I checked the tank in my daughter's room this morning and found about a dozen babies.

I got these cool little livebearers from Brian at Brianstropicals.com.

One of the coolest things about these fish is that they eat detritus and plant matter. As soon as I put them in the tank, they started picking at the dead plant matter on the bottom and on the sponge filter.

Brian said to just put them in a tank and let them be and they will be ok and start breeding. I got one male and four females.

Here is a picture from Brian's site (http://www.brianstropicals.com):

Cool,
I saw those when I was at his site and thought they looked interesting. They look like a neat fish.
