i would say egg bearing. not cause iv done any of the two, but with egg bearing you have the eggs to incubate etc, live bearers do it all. mind you do have the gunge at the birth but thats ok.

i think eggs are easier as once they are laid , you simply pop them in the incubator and its sorted . There is the obvious prob of elec failure and such but when it comes to live bearing , the sight of a cage full of still borns is enough to put someone off for life , especially when you havent a clue why . At least with eggs , you know if something is going wrong but live birth , its a real dissapointment when you wait so long and it goes belly up !
