    I heard that livebearers are more comfrotable and more likely to begin giving birth when the lights are off, can anyone back this up or is it just a myth?

    I don't know about you.. But when my mollies gave birth, they are in the middle of the day... Hmmm.. perahaps people think they usually gave birth in the night because of blackwater :?: :|

    I've had one birthing during the day and one happened over night, so I'm not sure which is the norm.

    I don't really think light has anything to do with it, when it's time, it's time! :D

    well comfort levels for the fish is during the night. only one of my fish have given birth during the early hours with lights on but i had so many hiding places so it was ok but my other fish didnt have many places to hude and she gave birth during the night when there was no light.
