How many babies do guppy fish have?
A female guppy can have 50-60 young at one time. When Mother Nature sees such a large family, she knows that the fish tank is overcrowded. The female guppy gets the word and produces only two dozen or so of babies.
How many babies do Endler guppies have?
They give birth to live young approximately every 23 days. Fry "drops" can range in size from one to 30 babies (or possibly more, depending on several variables, including the age and size of the mother).
How often do guppies have babies?
Guppies typically reproduce about every 30 days and give birth to litters approximately 20 times throughout their lives. The researchers found that as female guppies aged, they began to skip litters or even stop reproducing for extended periods of time, effectively ceasing to reproduce after a certain age.
Do guppies give birth all at once?
All About Guppies Giving Birth
Typically, the fry are delivered one at a time, although they may appear in quick succession with pauses between groups of babies. The baby guppies are usually born curled into small balls, just as they matured in the female's womb in this compact shape.
How often do Endlers have babies?

How many Endlers are in a 5 gallon?
As for the endlers, 5-6 males would be good. I would avoid getting females to prevent the overpopulation problem. If you want to breed them, I suggest a bigger tank (15g+).
How long do Endlers stay pregnant?
Male Endlers will perform a 'dance' before breeding unlike guppies. Once mated, gestation takes between 23 and 24 days.
How old do guppies have to be to have babies?
Guppies rapidly reach maturity. Since guppies give live birth instead of laying eggs, guppy fry (baby fish) are born more developed that most fish. Unlike egg layers, they start life as miniature adults. A guppy can start to reproduce at only 2 to 3 months of age.
Do guppies eat their own babies?
Unfortunately, if you leave guppy babies in the same tank with adult fish, the adults will end up decimating their own fry. This behavior is known as filial cannibalism, and it can be found in many species across the animal kingdom as it is not limited to guppy fish.
How long are guppies pregnant before giving birth?
Guppy. Guppies are highly prolific livebearers giving birth to between five and 30 fry, though under extreme circumstances, she may give birth to only one or two or over 100. The gestation period of a guppy is typically 21–30 days, but can vary considerably.

How can you tell if a female guppy is pregnant?
The Eyes of the Fry and Signs of Impending Birth

How many guppy fry survive?
Once the fish gets pregnant, she will have fry every 2 to 7 months. This is only with platies, mollies and guppies as they are the only livebearers, any other fish will lay eggs and maybe 5/50 will survive as the eggs float about and often get eaten.
Do Endlers eat their babies?

How fast does Endler fry grow?
