EVERY MONTH??? Wow, didn't know fish reproduced THAT often!

Yes , some live bearers do ! It’s fun to watch if you’ve never seen it before .

Most livebearers have similar gestation periods of about a month, give or take--guppies, platies, swords, mollies etc.

My little group of Heterandria formosa have run for years, with me giving away dozens and dozens. There are always dozens more. They don't drop large numbers as guppies do, but their production of young is steady and relentless.

Don't livebearers have some built in enzyme or hormone or something that gets them to stop breeding when population gets high? Seems like I heard or read that somewhere, but that might just be something I thought would be good and decided it was true.
