YES...I HAD A PAIR OF REDSWORDTAILS AND A PAIR OF GUPPIES. MY FEMALE SWORDTAIL DIED...THEN MY MALE GUPPY DIED...LEAVING ONLY MY TWO FISH. IT WASN'T LONG UNTIL MY GUPPY HAD BABIES...AND THEY WERE RED, BUT I DIDN'T GET THEM SEPERATED IN TIME...THEY WERE EATEN. I DIDN'T TRY AFTER THAT TO BREED THEM. THEY SOON DIED AND I DIDN'T GET MORE FISH.

What is livebearer fry fish food?

Which word do you not understand? A "Livebearer" is a species of fish that has live babies rather than lays eggs. "Food" is a name given to what all fish including livebearers eat. "Fry" is the English word for most baby/infant fish. So "Livebearer fry fish food" would be food that is made specifically for baby Livebearers. Edit: I think you want to know what to feed livebearer fry, yes? If so, you can feed them crushed up flakes (REALLY small) or buy a product called Liquifry for Livebearers.
