The number of eggs a fish lays at a time varies widely among different species and sizes of fish. Some fish lay only a few; others lay millions. Usually this has something to do with how the fish care for their eggs. With the species that simply leave their eggs' survival to chance and just swim away, more eggs are produced. If a species sticks around and looks after the eggs until they hatch, and even watches over the baby fish, usually less eggs are laid.
For example, Cod lay up to 9 million eggs, but these are left to drift where they will, and so many don't survive even to hatch. Herrings, which lay around 50,000 eggs, also abandon them, but the eggs stick to the bottom and are less likely to be eaten by predators.
Species such as bass, salmon, some sticklebacks, and trout stay and watch over their eggs, which often sink and stick to the bottom like herring eggs. But these species lay far fewer eggs than herrings, because the extra protection gives the eggs much better chance of survival.
If you had a certain category or species of fish in mind, asking more specifically about it would result in a better answer.
Anyway, I hope this helped.

My Siamese fighting fish is off his food he seems lethargic and his water is cold but i don't know how to make it warm?
One of the many reasons small containers are not recommended by experienced aquarists for housing Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is that it is very hard to heat them correctly. They need to be kept around 75F to 80F. Below 65F they could very well die. My advice is to get as large a tank as you can afford and set it up with a heater/thermostat, filter, lights and plants. Your fish will then do well provided you look after it properly.
After a fish lays its eggs after how many days does the eggs hatch?

If you have a medium sized bowl and have a Siamese fighting fish in it is it okay to keep another fish in it or would it be too full?
There are not many fish that can be kept with Siamese fighting fish. They are able to survive in small bowls because they have a breathing organ (a labyrinth) that allows them to breathe some atmospheric air. While they will get on with most catfish, livebearers and other small fish, these other fish will not be happy in a bowl. If you add a filter, you could keep some pygmy corydoras, otocinclus catfish, ember tetras or white cloud mountain minnows. Each of these are schooling species, buy at least 3 and be aware you will now have a lot more water changes to do.
