How do I breed my tropical fish???
I just brought a male and female guppy and male and female swordtail. I want to know as much as possible just because i like reading pages and pages of breeding and care.If possible can you give me some of your favorite sites to use. Also whats a good online fish shop in Australia that has LOW shipping fees NOT live fish because they charge you $15.00 shipping. Please answer.
Cheers Daniel
Just leave them alone. If you have a male and female livebearer (which both of those breeds are), the females are probably already pregnant and if not, will soon be. The males will have the females pregnant their entire lives.
Pregnancy lasts around 4 weeks. They will have as little as 2 (if it's their 1st batch, but probably more) and up to 80+ in each batch. With just one mating, the female stores sperm and releases fry around every 4 weeks for 6 months. The only way to get them to stop is to completely separate all the males from the females into different tanks, but just know that the females will continue to have fry (which will still need to be separated as well) for up to 6 months. the fry will then start mating at around 2 months old if they're not separated. Do the math and know that you'll have a gazillion fish in your tank shortly. Be prepared to have a house full of tanks to accommodate them all. They never ever ever ever stop, believe me.
I'm in the U.S. so can't help with the last question, sorry.
