The most common type of 'pregnant' fish are referred to as 'live bearers'. Guppies, mollies and swordtails are among the popular ones.
The male of the species uses a modified form of the anal fin to copulate with the female. Once a female has been mated with a male, she can store the sperm and deliver a number of successive broods without further contact with a male.
