:These fish are livebearers, and just putting males and females in a tank will cause mating. Females will have anywhere from 3 - 100 fry per clutch, and her gestation period will last anywhere from 3 - 4 weeks. Adults will cannibalize young if the young are not given sufficient places to hide. Good hiding spots include java moss and large marbles at the bottom of the tank. | :These fish are livebearers, and just putting males and females in a tank will cause mating.
