👶 Rare Livebearer Fish
Like guppies, mollies, platies, and swordtails, Limia are livebearers that give birth to fully formed fry rather than laying eggs. Many hobbyists enjoy keeping and breeding Limia because they are uncommon, hardy, and often easier to maintain than more delicate rare fish species.
⭐ A Favorite Among Livebearer Collectors
Limia are especially popular among hobbyists who enjoy rare livebearers and species-focused aquariums. Their unique behavior, subtle coloration, and limited availability make them an excellent addition to specialty freshwater fish collections. If you already keep Endlers, Limia make a rewarding next step.
🌿 Perfect for Planted Aquariums
Limia thrive in planted aquariums that provide open swimming space along with areas of cover. Live plants help reduce stress, improve water quality, and provide shelter for fry, making planted tanks one of the best environments for these unique livebearers.

Are limia good for beginners? Yes. They're hardy and adaptable, and they appreciate the same stable, slightly hard, neutral-to-alkaline water as our other mollies, guppies, and platies.
Will limia breed in my tank? Readily, if you keep males and females together. Add plenty of plant cover for fry to hide, or keep a single-sex group to control numbers.

What size aquarium do Limia need? Most Limia species do well in aquariums of 20 gallons or larger, especially when maintained in groups and provided with plenty of swimming space.
