Fish Breeding
Egglaying and livebearing are the two strategies exercised by fish. As what their names suggest, egglaying fish lays eggs rather than giving birth to a little look-alike of an adult fish as what livebearing fish does.

How do goldfish breed?
Asked by Wiki User
You should see that the female goldfish appears fatter than usual due to the eggs she is carrying. The male will have white spots on his front fins and gill covers and will pay the female a lot of attention chasing her around the tank or pond. The female will lay her eggs on strands of pond weed which the male will fertilise with his milt. The eggs will hatch in 48 to 72 hours emerging as small fish known as fry.
They breed best in a pond. Feed them up well for a few weeks with earthworms etc and provide plenty of surface plants for them to spawn in. They will come into breeding mode as the temperature is raised up towards 70F and usually spawn at dawn.

How do you breed Betta fish?
Asked by Wiki User
Breeding Bettas is a difficult and challenging endeavor. Also an expensive one. You will need a brooding tank that is no smaller than 10 gallons, a 40 to 50 gallon growing tank for the fry to grow up in, and upwards of 500 individual jars to put the new Bettas in once they are large enough. You will need a salt brine culture to feed the new-born, then a daphnia culture to feed them on once they are large enough. You will need a large room dedicated just to breeding and raising your Bettas. Unless you have lots of time, lots on money, and lots of space it is best to buy your Bettas from your local pet store.
if you have more than one betta fish, i advise you to put them in separate tanks because if you put more than one beta fish in one tank they would attack each other and they might die. When i was taking care of a beta fish i fed it three times a day and it worked out perfectly fine. if you want more information you should ask a pet store that sells betta fish.
First you need a 24"x12"x12" tank, a heater/thermostat set at 79F. Soft water and a mature pair of Beta splendens in breeding condition that have been kept apart. Some floating plants will help the male with his nest so they are a good idea too as is a few little hidey holes for the female to hide in when the male gets too rough. Add the female to the breeding tank first, wait overnight and add the male the next morning. Keep an eye on them. The male will start off by showing off (flashing his fins etc) to the female. He will build a nest of bubbles and plant bits and he will regularly drive the female under it. She will not stay until she is happy with the nest. Once she is happy they will take a position under the nest and the male will embrace the female and they will roll over trembling and then as they separate, the eggs (ova) will fall towards the bottom of the tank and the male will collect them in his mouth and blow them into the nest. This will continue until she is spawned out and the male drives her away. The female must now be removed from the tank before the male kills her.
