How many male guppys can you have to how many females?
*EDIT BY AUTHOR* I'm a beginner and I'm getting 5 guppies. So should I get 1 male and 4 females or 2 males and 3 females?? I don't mind if I have a lot of babies, I'm giving them to good homes anyway.
Short answer. Dont get five. Long Answer: You should always have 2 or three females to males. So I would recommend getting six. Do you know how to raise and birth fry? Or how to take care of them? These are important questions if you are getting different genders. Best of luck to you.
What type of symmetry do angelfish have?
radial because you can split up its body any way and it will be the same
Yes. Creatures whose eggs hatch inside the parents are call ovoviviparous.
What happens is the female gives birth to fry (hatched baby fish) that are curled up. The fry will "open up" within a couple of hours. then they will begin to swim around. Make sure that you have lots of hiding places for them!
Neon Tetras can not get pregnant. They are egg layers and EXTREMELY difficult to breed.

What temperature should water be for pregnant molly?
Keep the water at a normal temperature for mollies: 78-82° F. She'll do just fine.
That's correct, mollies do bear live young. Though on rare occasions, they do, for whatever reason, "abort" their pregnancies.
Just this evening a heavily pregnant black molly of mine produced about a dozen bright orange eggs, and three fry. One of the fry is seriously underdeveloped and wont make it, I'm certain. The babies have been having a feast on the leftover eggs, so there must be a reason for this behaviour. It may be an instinctive response, as my mollies live in a large tank with some large fish. It could be that my molly has exhausted her supply of sperm, and only fertilised the eggs she could. There are any number of reasons.
It is a shock seeing eggs appear, where usually the explosive darting fry greet one at a molly pregnancy, but it does happen!
How long do neon fish stay pregnant?

How do you know when tetras are mating?
Just about all fish on this planet breed in late spring or early summer. Tetras are no different. Tetras come from South America, so over there, young as well as all young fry have a better chance of making it through the winter months. It's just natures way of being.
Are clown loaches community fresh water fish?

How did angelfish get their name?
Tiger Swallowtail butterflies have stripes on their wings that resemble the stripes of a tiger. The swallowtail part of their name comes from the two "tails" they possess; one on each wing. Many people thought and think that the tails resemble the tails of certain species of swallow, which is a type of bird. Thus the name Tiger Swallowtail butterfly.
Neon tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) Do not have babies, they lay eggs and the eggs are fertilised outside the body. They are notoriously hard to breed requiring semi darkness, very soft water and pH around 5.8 to 6 and a temperature of 80F.

How do you catch a angelfish in Animal Crossing?
You must fish in the river, and just hope that one is an angelfish. Angelfish are seasonal, so they might not be around right now.
How big should a bowl be for 1 hi fin tetra?
Betta fish bowls do not necessarily need to be very large due to their harsh living conditions in the wild; however, the bigger the tank is, the longer he will live and you don't have to clean the tank as nearly as often. Adding a live aquatic plant adds beauty and even more oxygen to the water, giving maximum health to your Betta.
They don't have to have very big bowls because they can live in very small spaces however, they are very energetic and love to swim around so if you want to keep two or three you might contemplate a big tank with lots of hiding places. It isn't a good idea to keep a male and a female together, unless they are breeding but, you can keep two females together peacefully. Two males is DEFINITELY NOT a good idea.
What are guppy fishes eating habits?
In an aquarium guppies eat: dry fish food flakes, living aquarium plants, algae, egg yolk, dried shrimps and in some cases a sick or ill fish and maybe even their own babies
hope that helped :)
