Live Bearers such as guppies, platies, endlers, ect give birth to up to 150 LIVE babies.
In average only about 30-50 Fry survive. There are also another group called Egg-Layers.
They can give birth to up to 500 eggs but again not all survive.
Live Bearers can give birth every 28-31 days. You can use a net breeder if you want them to live.
The parents will eat them. This is the natural way because you can become overstocked.
If you try to save every baby for the rest of your platies life. Good Luck!!!

It depends on what fish your talking about but live bearers give up to 200-400 . If young they will put 40-60 eggs but they reproduce fast even if you don't rescue any .!!
Egg Scratchers Can Layy From 100-200
Egg Layers Can lay upp to 200 and sometimes 250-260
Not all will survive and sime may come out deformed or dead or sick .

First, only a minority of fish species ("livebearers") give birth.
The others lay eggs.
Of those that do give birth to baby fish, the average number depends on the species-- anywhere from one baby at a time to thousands at a time.
Egglaying fishes produce anywhere from one egg at a time to millions-- again, it depends on the species, and also on the size of the parent fish.

Fish put out eggs like a snake or chicken but there is more of them and they are very tiny. Called row of caviar or something like that.
