If it is the first birth of Mickey fish, a litter can give birth to about 10-20 small fish. If the Mickey fish has been produced many times, it can produce 30-40 small fish at a time. If Mickey fish are healthy and live in a good environment, they may give birth to 50 at a time. Because Mickey fish are ovoviviparous, the number of young they produce is related to their size, and larger Mickey fish will produce more.
How many babies can a Mickey fish give birth to and how to reproduce?

1. How many babies

can Mickey fish give birth to in one litter? Mickey fish are ovoviviparous, so how many babies can they give birth to in one litter depends on their size. If they are larger Mickey fish, they can give birth to 30-40 babies at a time. If they are small, they can produce about 20-30 at a time. If the Mickey fish are large and the surroundings are suitable, they may also produce 50 at a time. However, the first generation of Mickey fish has a smaller number of larvae, up to 10-20 at a time. After they are produced many times, they can produce 30-40 pieces each time. So how many Mickey fish can be born depends on their size and living environment.

2. How Mickey fish reproduce

Mickey fish are ovoviviparous. Unlike other fish, they are internally fertilized. After the Mickey fish is in heat, the male fish will chase the female fish constantly. In the process of chasing, the male fish will use the copulatory apparatus to discharge sperm into the cloaca of the female fish, thus completing fertilization. The fertilized eggs will not come out until they mature in the female's body, so what they produce is not fish eggs, but small fish larvae. However, the small fish larvae are small in size and weak in viability, so breeders need to feed them separately or isolate the parent fish to prevent them from harming the small fish.
