To freshwaterfishing- Sailfin Mollies

Sailfin mollies breed in brackish waters.
The pointed anal fin and much larger dorsal fin on the male, and the rounded anal fin and pregnancy spot on the female differentiate the two.

The Sailfin Molly is a livebearer that requires a spawning tank in a large 25 gallon, or larger breeding tank. The aquarium should be planted as densely as possible or have a thick algae mat. so Having a group of floating plants in the corner of the aquarium will promote rearing outside of the breeding tank. Every 60-70 days the female will give birth to 10-60 young that are already approximately one-half inch long. The Sailfin Molly is omnivorous and requires both meaty foods as well as algae. Provide these fish with an algae-based flake food, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp. If these points are not taken then thats why your Mollies are not breeding

To freshwaterfishing- Mickey mouse platies

As the male will mature the Anal fin develops into a structure for reproduction called the Gonopodium. The Gonopodium can be moved in almost any direction and stores the sperm in packs called spermatophores. Once the sperm is inserted into the female it fertilizers her eggs and the rest is stored in the Oviduct walls for later use. The eggs are very rich in yolk and the young develop by consuming their yolk stores. In light colored females pregnancy can be recognized by the growing dark body marking in front of the Anal fin.
The Young Live-bearers are fairly large at birth and their development is very advanced. They can swim right away, which is needed to avoid their enemies including their parents who give no natal care whatsoever. The fry grow very rapidly and will eagerly accept fine flake food.The Temperature range from sixty-eight to seventy-seven degrees.

Both the fish you have are Live-bearers!

To mahemaheman85- Ghost shirmp

The Ghost shrimp is really a ready spawner in the home aquarium, but like any animal, conditions need to be right or you will not get anything. keep the Ghost Shrimp in a 10 gallon tank all to themselves simply because these small animals are prey to almost all tropical fish, and they will not produce eggs if they feel threatened.

The reproductive cycle will not begin if you don’t have 4 things for the shrimp

Security: they wont breed if they are threatened by predators

Males and Females: Although it is almost impossible until the shrimp are full grown. The female has a much larger body size full grown, she will max out at about an inch and a quarter, while males stay much smaller at about 3 quarters of an inch, and they also have a much slimmer body style, the females tail and pleopods will be much larger to accommodate the eggs. Unlike most fish, you can have a relatively low number ratio of males to females. Have 1 male fertilize 2 females.

The Water parameters: As with breeding any fish or invertebrate, you need 0 Ammonia, Nitrite, and as close to zero as possible on Nitrates. Shrimp are very delicate and need matured substrate and clean water to thrive and in turn, breed. The temperature needs to be 73-78 degrees Fahrenheit or 20-30 degrees Celsius. Keep the salinity low, use one teaspoon of aquarium salt for 10 gallons. Very small amounts.

Readiness of Food: The shrimp breed in the abundant seasons in the wild, if they have plentiful food sources it will greatly increase the chances of eggs to be laid. I cant stress enough the importance of NOT overfeeding!! A great way to give your shrimp plenty to eat is to let the algae grow on the ornaments like rocks, they love to eat it off, although they are NOT entirely algae eaters and you will need to supplement their diet with protein and calcium to and that can be found in bottom feeder pellets. Remember these are small animals and a little goes a very long way. Take a quarter of the bottom pellet and crush it the size of crumbs, then put it in, that amount will sustain my 3 full grown shrimp for about 2 days depending on how hungry they are .

GOOD LUCK!!!!

To Peacock Bass-Convicts

They are really easy to breed if you know who's male,who's female. You do know who's Male and female, right?The first thing to do is pair of the male and female. The female will dig out a cave or pit in the gravel near a corner and lay her eggs. Then, the male will come and fertilize and the eggs should turn a brownish color. The female will primarily guard the eggs while the male patrols. The eggs should hatch in 2-5 days. Then the male and female become very very extremely fiesty and agressive. They will tear up and chase away whatever comes near those fry.You should try breeding them seperatley or your other fish might get hurt.

The first 1-2 weeks, the fry should be fed eaither some type of liquid food, baby brine shrimp or micro worms. Then, ones they get large enough, should be feed crushed flakes, crushed shrimp pellets, or older brine shrimp. Withing 1-2 months, the fry should be at about 25% - 50% of an inch long.You shoul try breeding them seperatley or your other fish might get hurt.
