there are many different types of fish. and they all mate differently. most fish mate in the spring. but for this to happen all conditions that the fish need must be met. also in order fot the baby fish to live you need to do certain things, these are different for each kind of fish

Answer==In India fish mate in the rainy season

====

If you are talking about fish in an aquarium, whether tropical or salt water fish, not all kinds of fish that you buy will mate in a tank. Some do, guppies and mollies are good fish to mate. Please be advised that you must be able to separate the pregnant fish before she gives birth. I use a guppy tank or a breeder tank. After she gives birth watch because most fish will eat their young and the mother will have to be separated from the young. Tropical fish are either live bearers like a guppy or a black molly or lay eggs like tetras and barbs. It is more difficult to find salt water fish that mate in a home tank.

Fish don't normally mate. The female lays eggs and swims away, the male then fertilizes the eggs. In some species they'll keep watch over their nest, others don't. Now... that said, one of the real miracles of nature comes in the form of a fish... The seahorse. They are a beauty to behold. Their courtship rituals are amazing, absolutely beautiful. The pair will swim around together, holding one each others tails. They dance for one another too. When they are ready, the male puffs out his pouch, and the female deposits her eggs inside.

There is no season. Breeding bettas is complex in comparison to livebearing fish such as guppies or mollies. i suggest ou do not breed bettas if you are a begginer in the hobby. a lot of time, experience and research is involved.

The fish mates in a very interesting way. The fish lays its eggs upstream and the male fish comes to fertilize them.

Salmon mate in the late winter to early spring months. The Salmon swim upstream to return to the spot they were hatched to lay their own eggs.

A female fish is ready to mate when there is a white opening near her vent. Betta fish even have stripes on their stomachs to indicate that they are ready to mate.
