"Breeding Your Tropical Fish - Not As Easy As You May Think"," Tropical fish breeding is a great deal of fun, but it also requires a great deal of thought and preparation before you are ready to begin.
I personally breed tropical angelfish although would recommend that you begin with live bearers.
The reason live bearing tropical fish are ideal for the novice breeder is because they are easy to breed and you won't have to worry about watching the eggs.
Getting Started
When you are preparing to start you should first choose your favorite type of live bearing tropical fish.
You should have at least two females for every male.
To set up you will need a breeding tank.
You will need to make sure that the breeding tank is stocked with plenty of plants, which will not only make the fish comfortable they will also help keep the water clean and oxygenated.
This is an important fact to keep in mind when you are watching your young fries grow up, you will want to separate the females from their male siblings before they are four months old.
This is good because it means that you won't have long to wait to see if your fish were able to mate.
What this means is that your female fish can have multiple births from a single breeding
