producing fishFirst of all you need a female and a male fish but its hard to tell what gender a fish is .In the rite surcomstances the female fish will lay her many eggs and afterwoods the male fish will insert his sperm into the eggs. They dont have sex.But its hard for fish to lay eggs in captivity

Fish breed in different ways. There are two main strategies that fish use: egglaying and livebearing. Livebearing female fish are internally fertilized by the male fish, and carry the fry for about a month before delivering them. Egglaying fish lay eggs instead of giving birth to little fish.

Egglayers have many methods of laying eggs. For example, substrate spawners lay eggs in protected areas such as plants, rocks, wood. Mouthbrooders actually keep their eggs in their mouths until the eggs hatch.

Hope This Helps!

Fish grow like any other multicelluar creature; their cells increase in number (not size).
