Livebearers are a group of fish that give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. This reproductive method allows the young fish, called fry, to be more developed and ready to swim immediately after birth. Common examples of livebearers include guppies, mollies, and platies. These fish are popular in home aquariums due to their vibrant colors and ease of care. Livebearers are often social creatures that thrive in groups, making them an excellent choice for community tanks. They are also known for their ability to adapt to various water conditions, which adds to their appeal for both novice and experienced aquarists.
