Which Live Bearing Give The Most Fry?

[Fishbreeder]

I'm wondering which live bearing do you think give the most birth? I have black molly and high fin platy giving birth around 40-50 fry and wondering any other fish can give birth to that amount or more.

I had a guppy that gave birth around 75 frys.

Id say guppies

 

[myhobs]

guppy.. They can gave birth more than anyone(based on my experience)..

 

[pcdebb]

as far as livebearers...guppies.

 

[Wiggles24]

I disagree. I say endlers! In addition they don't eat their babies!

 

[pcdebb]

Endlers are guppies.

 

[lovemyguppies]

Endlers are guppies.

Endlers aren't guppies, just closely related.

I would like to point out that large female live bearers produce more fry. I had a swordtail give birth to about 90 fry.

Good point. Also depends on the age/how many births the fish has already had to some extent. The most I've had in one batch is about 40 tho.

Correct. Mollies get pretty big and can give birth to around 200 fry

Which is why pcdebb said endlers

Lol good point although from my own personal experience I would say mollies or platys have the most... Or at least mine have...

i said no such thing. I said endlers are guppies, but I was told they are not, but they are related, which is the same thing.

Not quite the same thing. Related and 'the same thing' isnt the same thing. If you get what I mean

 

[spiketooth]

Sorry, thought you knew they were a different species

 

[fishfan88]

Who, me? Sorry I'm really confused now

they're within the same family but of different species, FYI
