What is the most number a guppy can give birth to?
Well, my guppy called Nmauva (pronounced, Nim - wava), had 54 babies, but we gave 6 away to my sister's best friend (neighbour) and we have 48 now. So.. If guppies are beginners and haven't had babies before, they would give birth to around 10 - 60 maybe and well experienced mothers can give birth to 20 - 200 babies. My guppy was a beginner and gave birth to 54. Make sure you use a breeding net to have babies. Then take the mother guppy and put her in a separate bowl by herself to rest and with lots of rocks and maybe a small house for a few days (2 - 3 days). Then, put her with all the other fish. Just don't take the babies out of the breeding net (you can buy breeding nets at your local fish store), because then the female fish or male fish can eat the babies. The mother and father can also eat their own babies. Please follow all this information and I hope I gave you enough information.
Do you let the fish out of the cage when its given birth?
Assuming what you mean by cage is a breeder net/cage, it is a good idea to let the mother out of the cage once you are sure she is 'done.' If it is not a two way breeder net then the mother may eat the babies because the babies will not be able to escape. Even if it is a two way so that the babies can escape, the mother will become stressed from living in such a small enclosure.
How are fish reared after birth?
Baby fish first start off still finishing their embryonic stage. When born, most fry still have their yolk sacs attached to them. Slowly, the fish, depending on it's size, will consume the yolk sac as food and energy to produce it's final limbs. Eventually, the fish's yolk runs out, and they start to hunt and eat plankton. After a month or so, depending on the fish, the fry would have completed it's first stage of life(birth and development).it will change into a man fish.
