Tannin Aquatics Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Okay, so every once in a while, I'll be spending a rare idle moment surfing the net, checking out fishes, clubs, forums...Google...that kind of stuff, and I'll stumble on something cool. Like the other day, someone in passing had mentioned a fish that sort of sounded vaguely familiar, Skiffia multipunctata. I was like, "What is that fish? A Rainbowfish? No...maybe a killie of some sort...that's not it...Ahh...a LIVEBEARER! That's it. A wild livebearer! Yet, "domesticated" by a dedicated group of specialized hobbyists. Super cool. And it got me thinking...and researching. And it sort of opened up my eyes to the fact that there are dozens and dozens of wild livebearers that are out there, which most hobbyists have never even heard of, let along, never thought about. Many of them are seemingly drab relatives of our beloved Guppies, Mollies, Plates, and Swordtails. However, many of them have their own attractive charm. Fishes that, when placed into the proper conditions, can be as interesting and beautiful as anything else we keep.
