Genus Limia Goliad Farms, LP, currently raises two species of Limias in our indoor, climate-controlled facilities. There are many other species of Limia (click here for more information). Limias are related to the mollies, platies, swordtails, and other Poeciliidae. Below is a table listing the Limias Goliad Farms produces or grows out. Click on the name of a species/variety for specific information about that particular species/variety. We use common names in the contents bar since these are the names that most tropical fish hobbyists are familiar with, but for informational purposes, we have included the scientific name in parentheses after the common name. We have chosen to use the common names used by "Dr. Axelrod's ATLAS of Freshwater Aquarium Fishes" since it is as close to being ubiquitous as any other aquarium hobby book. In reference to scientific names, as with all hobbyists, we struggle to keep up with the seemingly constant reclassification of tropical fish. So, bear with us on scientific names. We attempt to use consensus names; but we can't always keep up with the changes.All scientific names (genus and species) are in italic fonts. Common names are in a non-italic font. If the scientific name is omitted, then we are not sure of the scientific identification of the fish.
