Fish help.?

Question

I have a silver molly, a dolmation molly, and a gourami. am getting more fish today, and i want easy breeders. I was thinking of getting 2 or so guppies, and some other fish. What r some options!?

Answer 1

All those are fine although you need at least two females to every one male molly. So if you have one of each I suggest getting another female. This is to stop the male harrassing one female constantly and stressing her out, maybe even leading to her death.

You may be interested to know that mollies like to have some algae in their diets, algae tablets, algae flake etc

Platies are also suitable, easy to breed and should be kept in the same ratio.

Guppies should either be kept the same way if you want them to breed, although the females are not as colourful. I personally would keep just males, but have at least 5 to reduce aggression levels and bullying.

You don't say how big your tank is and how long you've had it set-up. Ideally, you should buy a few fish with about 2 weeks inbetween each purchase to allow the bacteria levels in the tank to grow in sufficient numbers to deal with the waste of the new fish.

If your tank is larger than 3ft, rainbow fishes are suitable, although they are not likely to breed due to being egg scatterers, so other fish eat the eggs staright away.
A pair of kribensis have interesting breeding behaviour and are good parents, although they are not really suitable tankmates for guppies.
I would stick with the mollies and kribensis (both of which will breed) and then get some other compatible fish such as larger tetras, rainbowfish, danios or rasboras etc A bristlenose ancistrus catfish will keep the algae at bay and some corydoras will liven up the bottom of your tank.
Hope this helps!
Good luck! :-)

Answer 2

Micky Mouse Platties
and
Guppies.
They are friendly fish, breed easily, and don't take up too much room. try doing some research on some breeding fish, and one really pretty fish that might be a good addition, is a tetra. They don't breed, but they are fun and pretty.

-hope this helped!

Answer 3

Guppies are easy breeders, mollies and platies are also easy to breed.

Answer 4

Hey well most livbearing fish are easy breeders balloon mollys are great, swordtiels and platys are also good!
good luck

Answer 5

Depending on the size of your tank you could also consider platys or swordtails, they are very easy breeders. With any of those it's best to get 2 females for every male.
