which type more prolific breeder

Thinking of breeding my own feeder fish.

if I have a 8x4x1 FGT in open air, was thinking of throwing some fish there alone and see how fast they multiply.

which type multiply faster? guppy or molly or red fish?

or should I have them all?

Not sure about Molly or red fish, but when guppies give birth, they will eat their own fries.. So you have to monitor and separate the fries right after birth.. Need to identify which are pregnant and about to give birth.. Having a glass panel at the Side of fgt would help you if not Its quite hard identifying which guppies are about to give birth..
Hope this helps

should try mollies , but try to keep a few plants for the fries to hide

Haha, I where got time to check like that? dun think those commercial feeder farmers do that also right?

but will throw in lots of plants as hiding space for them.

Just provide enough hiding places for the guppy fries to hide in and you should be okay... ... It would be more effective you are able to separate the fries from their parents.

Guppy will be faster and just throw in lots of plants for them to hide.

Haha forgot about guppy breeding alr.. Long time.. forgot about the plants.. Be it real or artificial.. Just make sure got many hiding spots.. Should be okay. what you intending to feed them and how many you intending to put in? Maybe next time I can buy from you.. Hahaha😁

cannot.. too short. 1 foot only.

I think you should have them all ,Then you would find which type of fish multiply
faster. In my opinion i think the red fish will multiply faster
