Gracilis is a neat species but I prefer other live bearers. What would you like to know?
Are they easy to breed and easy to take care? Where I can find them? Not wild caught ones of course.
I think they breed in same way as least killifish is that right?

Yes, they are fairly easy to breed. Though I've only kept them in alkaline water. They like to swim around a lot and pretty much eat anything offered. If I remember correctly, the Portholes were housed in a lightly planted fifteen gallon aquarium. The females would drop every month or so and usually leave their young alone. I purchased mine from a aquarium club.

You still has them? What kind tankmates I could put portholes in with? Least killifish, can they work out in same tank?
