Fish and Breeding

Fish consist of two different types of breeding type, egg layers, and live bearers. Most all fish that are kept in the water garden where the ponds are kept at a consistent temperature are egg layers. Fish will lay their eggs in various places; some keeping them very near or on their body and others, the eggs are so small you might not realize that the eggs are really there. There are unusual fish that will produce both livebearers and that will lay eggs, but these are fish that are very rare. With in the egg laying fish categories, there are fish that will have their eggs fertilized internally by the male, there are eggs that are laid, and then the male will fertilize the fish.
