Yes guppies are easy to breed, Just add 1 male to every 2 female and you will have baby guppies in about a months time.

The question should be--how to keep them from breeding??? Yes, you will have lots of little guppies, just make sure you have 2-3 females per male so that 1 female doesn't get chased to death by the male. And when it comes time for the female to have her fry, get a clear box (I think it's called a brooding box)that floats in the tank, or a separate tank, to put mom into, watch closely, and as soon as she gives birth, pull her out away from the babies or she will eat them, as they are a delicacy.

yes, they are extremly easy to breed
You need to get 1 male and 2-3 females for that
The gestation period is about 28 days
And if I were you, I would get lots of real plants for the babies to hide
The use of a breeding net or a 3way breeder just stresses out the mom
Hope that helps

yes, i used to breed them. It was pretty easy as long as you keep the babies away from other fish so they don't get eaten.

They have fry (babies)every month. Make SURE you have a male & a female.
