  1. Default are any of my tanks appropriate for livebearers?

    look at my signature, at my tank descriptions, and please let me know if you think i can keep either guppies, platys, mollies, etc. in my 10-gallon or my 46 gallon.

    keep in mind that most of the zebra danios that i have listed are gone and have been moved into my cycling 29 gallon, freeing up some space.

    can i keep a few? if so, what types should i consider? which tank should i add them to? would any of my current fish help to control the amount of fry?

    oh yeah, and my water runs slightly alkaline, at 7.2

    You could have have livebearers in the 29, once completely cycled. I would keep keep either guppies or platys and make sure you have a place to bring the fry too!

    i have a 20 gallon i am going to start cycling soon as well, so if i just wait i will be able to make all my fish happy and also get some Livebearers if i want to. it makes more sense

    The Tiger in the 10g. I realize they do not get huge but 10g is too small for any pleco IMO.
