June 6, 201610 yr comment_568507 Depends on the genetics, age, condition and size of the female. They can spawn every 6 weeks, roughly, and have anything from 1 or 2 upwards. Report

June 6, 201610 yr comment_568517 Have you got the female on her own or in a community tank? She, and all the other fish big enough, will eat the fry as fast as they are born. A good clump of fine leaved plant, like Java moss gives the fry a chance of survival. Report
