    I'm afraid you won't find any of the mentioned fishes in any of the LFS except for green swordtails, which I saw once in feeder bags at C328. You can visit Guppy Galaxy near Farmart. I remember seeing a few tanks with some green swordtails as well. They could have some other wild livebearers too.

    Otherwise, I've seen Micropoecilia picta var. "red" at C328 just recently.

    If not, I think you should try to email this guy, Edinjapan,

    Got some Xiphophorus cortezi "Rio Vinasco" from him before and the fishes arrived safe and sound.

    Platies? I have one species in mind - Xiphophorus xiphidium. Have been looking for them beyond the shores but to no avail. You should really consider contacting the mentioned person if you want to keep wild livebearers. He's from Japan, Tokyo and a member of the Japanese livebearer Association, I think. Trade should be a very good word to him.

    It's hard enough to find even a simple Blue Wag Platy in Singapore. I've been looking around for months on end.
    LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
