Livebearers
Livebearers – Hardy, Colourful & Perfect for Community Aquariums
At Wonderworld Aquarium & Pet Centre, our Livebearers collection includes some of the most popular and beginner-friendly freshwater fish in NZ.
From Guppies and Endlers to Platies, Mollies and Swordtails, livebearers are loved for their vibrant colours, active behaviour, and ability to give birth to free-swimming fry.
These hardy fish adapt well to a range of water conditions and thrive in established community aquariums. They’re ideal for new fishkeepers, families, and hobbyists who enjoy watching natural breeding behaviour.
