Breeding fish
I was woundering,
can you breed fish in a 10 gallon tank?
and if so what fish would be the best to breed?
I wasd thinking anglefish but I dont know if the eggs will survive.
and also, How can I keep the eggs alive?
I am going to have diffrent breeds of fish of corse I will ask the clurk or a guy at the store if they would get along first. and if they do. Will the diffrent breed of fish try to eat the eggs?? I also dont know how to sepperate the other breeds if they DO try to eat them. and my last question.-
who should stay with the eggs?
I know the mother should. But should the father too? (if there's any othjer info i should know about breeding fish please let me know)

Try breeding swordtails or mollies. They have their babies (or fry as they are called) live They are fairly sturdy, but will need a filter, a heater and a breeding net that attaches on the side of the tank, or floats on the top. When the female is about ready to deliver you will know by the color and you can place her in the breeding net. Once the fry are born you should remove the female. When the fry are big enough, you can place them in the tank with the other fish. There are many types and colors of swordtails, they will cross breed and you can end up with all different variations. More females than males is recommended to start with. We had so many little fry, we finally allowed them to deliver in the tank. "Survival of the fittest" If you have plenty of plants and cover on the bottom, a few of the fry will survive. If all the offspring survive you will need to sell them or give them away or there will be too many for a small tank.

1) go to your pettore, and they will have a section for like fish that are very easy to breed at home. (petco if you hvae on in your neighborhood) otherwise try fancy tailed guppies and baloon mollies.
2) the father shouldnot stay with the eggs, and neither should the mom. she will eat them after she had them.
3) you will have to have lots of decortation in your tank, like lotsss of plants.
4) usually the fish that are easy to breed like the guppies and mollies, they usually get a long
