If you ever want to start breeding fish as your hobby, guppies are the best fish to start off. If you put one female and one male guppy in nearly any aquatic environment, they can easily give birth to 10 baby guppy fries. They are easily the best fish to give happy little fish fries.
The main reason why guppies are the best breeding fish for your aquarium is because guppies are a hardy fish that can survive many different types of harsh water quality and also because they are live bearing fishes.
Live bearing fishes are fishes that have eggs which are fertilized and developed in their bellies instead of laying their eggs outside of their bodies. This means that that the little baby fish fries can swim straight away out of the mother fish when given birth, instead of waiting for the eggs to hatch like a chicken. You will see no eggs deposited in the aquarium where other hungry fishes can eat it. Guppies can have up to 5 to 100 little baby guppy fries in their bellies when pregnant. When giving birth, guppies have all the features of an adult fish. It is active the minute it exits its mother’s belly, and can eat and swim naturally once it frees itself from the mother. Potentially, you can have 100 little baby guppies swimming in your fish tank from just two guppies.
Baby guppy fries are also very easy to reach full maturity. It takes approximately one or two months and they can be fed easily with just grinded up goldfish flakes. There is little maintenance with guppies, so feeding and changing water is the most you need to do to breed guppies.
Guppies are easily the easiest fish to breed. Why don’t you try and breed some yourself?
