I noticed after a 50% water change, about 2degrees colder than the tank temp more or less, my treadfin rainbows,celebs rainbows and cherrie barbs are in a breeding mood every Sunday . That's the same thing I heard about guppies , in nature as the cooler rainfall cools down the ponds and wherever they live, this increases the spawning mood . But the temp should be checked as the temp differs too much it might cause some serious issues

 

What more a less what temperature. But I only need to drop the temperature for 1 day?

You shouldn't have an issue breeding Guppies or Platy's... The rasboras and barbs will be a different story.

Guppies and platy's are livebearers, which tend to breed all year round. So they breed pretty much all the time. Females will drop live young, and not lay eggs. But, they will also eat their fry very quickly, so a covering of floating plants will help the babies survive. They can hide in the floating plants. They are attracted to light, so they will almost always head for the surface of the water where they will be easy prey for the parents, and the other fish in the aquarium.

The other fish you have a generally egg scatterers, and once again, they will eat their eggs if they can see them. Generally, those fish would need to be bred in specific setups dedicated to breeding them.

I would not worry about wanting to induce spawning in a community tank.

 

Thanks @Sean J tell me something if I put the male guppy and the female guppy separate from the rest of the aquarium I will improve the breeding chances?

Set up another small tank. Put 1male guppy and about 3 or 4 fee males in. Put a few plants in. Feed good foods blood worm etc and you will see in a few weeks lots and lots of fry:

 

They take how many time to breed?

If they are healthy and well fed every couple of months you should get fry.

 

I use that food is good for them?

Brine shrimp and blood worms

Guppies in general deliver fry every 25 to 45 days depending on water conditions and temperature. Are your guppies sexually mature yet?

I use a combination of different foods for conditioning including the ones you added a picture of, about three different flake food (one general flake food, one alge or vegtable based and another brine shrimp based). Other foods include frozen brine shrimp maybe twice a week, bloodworms once a week, freeze dried bloodworms once a week, live dapnia, bloodworms and mosquito larve from time to time. They are not fussy eaters to be honest.

Breeding ratios: One male for every two to four females. If you have one of each in a community tank then only move the female out when she shows signed of being pregnant and move her back after giving birth.
