Episode Details

In this episode, the Water Colors team discusses their top 5 picks for livebearing fish. Many of these wild type livebearers are certainly specialty fish, meaning they are often hard to find and have minimal research done on their behaviors. They can be exciting to keep at home, and easy to breed as a project!
