What Are Limia?

Great for Planted Tanks and Community Aquariums
Limia can do well in planted freshwater aquariums that provide open swimming space, stable water quality, and areas of cover. Live plants, driftwood, rocks, and décor can help create visual barriers and hiding places for fry.
Because Limia are social livebearers, they are usually best kept in groups when tank size allows. Research each species before purchase, since adult size, temperament, and ideal water parameters can vary.
