This Is How You Keep Tropical Fish From Breeding: MUST WATCH
Tropical fish can breed like rabbits! While it might look like a good thing, it isn’t for many reasons. The tank can become crowded, resulting in a wide range of issues.
From putting undue stress on the fish to breed prematurely to giving them a reason to fight over space, food, and air. Indeed, a full tank isn’t a conducive place for your fish!
You will also be spending more time cleaning the tank and changing its filter, as well as spend more money on food and filters. More fish in the tank, more mess to clean up. (Use the right tools when cleaning up the mess, too, such as the AquaticHI 5 in 1 Multi-Function Aquarium/Fish Tank Cleaning Tool)

Fortunately, there are easy yet effective ways of preventing your tropical fish from breeding!
Place Either Male or Female Fish
It takes a male and female to breed and so it makes sense not to put them together in one tank. You will be able to pick either a male or female fish to put in an aquarium but not both sexes.
Your choice will depend on whether a male fish or a female fish has the appearance you want. Male guppies, for example, maybe more desirable as pets because of their multiple colors in spots, stripes, or splashes than the gray-colored female guppies.
If your tank already has male and female fish of the same species, you should separate them. You may also want to rethink getting female fish because they may already be pregnant when you bought them, thus, defeating your purpose.
Place Different Fish Species
Fish aren’t known to interbreed (i.e., breed with another species), so it also makes sense to put different fish species in your tank. You should also consider getting solitary fish, so there’s no risk of it becoming lonely in its tank.
If you’re getting two of the same schooling species, check that they have the same gender.
Change the Tank Conditions
Fish usually need specific tank conditions to breed, said conditions of which include water temperature, pH balance, and hardness as well as light level and amount of space.
If you know these conditions, then you can change the tank conditions to make it more uncomfortable for the fish to breed.
Keep in mind that the keywords here are “uncomfortable for breeding” since you don’t want to kill the fish by giving them less-than-optimal conditions to live.
