Stop looking for excuses if you can not get a fish to breed.

There are many species of asexually reproducing fish species. One that comes to mind is the amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) that reproduces via gynogenesis. They have no males. It is an all-female species. Amazon molly females produce diploid eggs that develop into clonal copies of the mother.

I'm sure it can happen, it is just hard to tell. Cool to know about the mollies.
