Platys and swordtails. Don't like guppies, and have never had mollies or any fancy livebearers.

I'd never heard of the A. splendens, Dave. Nice to learn new things.  Can I be honest though? I found they looked a little like misshapen rainbow fish. But then again I've never seen them live or anything.
Anyways, my nomination is......... (  roll): molly. What a surprise, LOL. Second best for me is platy, then guppies.

I love them all, that being said tho, I find that IME my swords pregnancies run like clockwork and the fry grow more quickly than the other LBs. I also enjoy Endlers, however, if you are not careful, you can get overrun in a very short time.

I voted for platies, but like we all find out different fish respond differently. I have 3 different color groups, and of them the Sunset fire wagtails seem to be the heartiest. Their fry grow faster, and there are more survivors. My favorite is the Rainbow platy, though because of the color, AND relative success on raising fry. They are doing well in with the other fish and tank mates they are with.
I like the blue Mickey mouse, but they just haven't been very healthy, and this may be due to where I got them, don't know. Their fry grow really slow.....

I hadn't heard of them either, not surprising given their status. I saw an adult female at the aquarium society and you can see 3 young ones on our tanks thread. They are beautiful in person, especially when they get more colorful and metallic looking. Dino has some too. I find them to be the smartest livebearers that we have. Did you load the wikipedia page on them?

Any way to change my vote? I clicked on the wrong one. 
I think I'd say X. variatus is my favorite to keep right now...they're like Platys but prettier. Endlers are close behind but i haven't actually had any yet. Edit: Oops I forgot to mention my Platys...love them too.

I'm gonna have to go wiith Sea Horses. I'd so very much love a horse tank. They're a little odd in that the male holds the eggs till the babies are born, but they are born live. If only I had time, space and money to keep them.
On a side note. I checked out Columbian Sharks to see if they were and found an Link to Fishlore on the Aquarium Wiki page for them.
