Gambusia - Western Mosquitofish

[WalterMelon]

Does anyone have an idea on how long it takes gambusia/western mosquitofish to breed? I mean from baby to birth of next generation. I know they can give birth about once a month, but other than that I'm clueless on birthrates, times, etc. If anybody knows anything or has a good link with info please let me know.

I've found that maturation and gestation periods were similar to those of guppies.

its pretty much the same as guppies. Just that gambusia are ALOT meaner than guppies.

most of the more common Gambusia (affinis and holbrooki) are easy to spawn as everyone else said, pretty much best kept to their own kind otherwise they will harrass other small fishes
