The answer to this question depends on what species of fish you are specifically asking about. The record for swordtails is 300, but whilst this seems like a large amount, keep in consideration that is a humongous accomplishment if even 20 percent of the eggs survive. Other species, such as the cardinal tetra, rarely breed in captivity, so you should not keep your hopes up for them. One species that rapidly and frequently breeds is the guppy. Guppies may leave you wishing you had not chosen to breed them in the first place. You should probably expect at least fifty or so eggs, and don't be crushed if all of the eggs don't survive. Like I mentioned earlier, even twenty percent of survivors is quite an amazing feat.

∙ 9y agoMost fish will reproduce when conditions are favourable. This can occur as often as every 6 to 8 weeks in many species, although there are some species that can only spawn once in a lifetime. Different species have different breeding requirements and stimuli.

If a population of fish in a lake is allowed to reproduce without anything to control this the fish population will stop growing What basic need are the fish competing for?
The fish will be competing for food, as a large number of fish need a large amount of food to keep them alive. As the population grows, the amount of food in excess will shrink, until there is only enough food for the fish already alive. When this happens, the weaker fish will die, as the stronger fish will outcompete them for the food.
