The answer to this question depends on what species of fish you are specifically asking about. The record for swordtails is 300, but whilst this seems like a large amount, keep in consideration that is a humongous accomplishment if even 20 percent of the eggs survive. Other species, such as the cardinal tetra, rarely breed in captivity, so you should not keep your hopes up for them. One species that rapidly and frequently breeds is the guppy. Guppies may leave you wishing you had not chosen to breed them in the first place. You should probably expect at least fifty or so eggs, and don't be crushed if all of the eggs don't survive. Like I mentioned earlier, even twenty percent of survivors is quite an amazing feat.
