Best Answer

The number of young produced per batch by fish varies enormously by species. Fish that provide more care or retain the eggs longer, such as mouth brooders and live bearers, produce very small numbers of young, 10 or 20 perhaps. Some sharks only produce one or two young at a time.

Other fish which, such as most broadcast spawners in the open ocean, can produce thousands upon thousands of eggs per breeding cycle.

Are you asking if your platy will give birth cause there are loads of fish already in your aquarium? or that your fish will give birth if she has a lot of unborn fish inside her?

The answer to both questions is YES, that is if she has been in contact with a male platy. Just be careful not to overstock your aquarium, as fish will constantly keep breeding no matter how many fish are already in the aquarium.

Most fish lay hundreds of eggs at a time. However, egg laying sharks only lay one until next mating season, and sharks that give live birth often have a litter of 1 to 10 shark pups.

Some fish have only a few offspring, some lay tens of thousands of eggs each time.
