Once a female has mated and produced fry, she is not always required to mate again in order to give birth. Some fish have been observed reproducing on a regular basis without the presence of a male. If you want to experiment with breeding fish in your aquarium, livebearers are usually the best place to start.

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.
