Default What was your largest batch of fry?

Just wondering what your largest batch of fry ever was and what type of fish had it.

Keep in mind a small number of one type of fish can be a great accomplishment while other fish could literally number in the thousands and be average.

I had a black con pair give me 300 fry one time The male was 3 inches and the female was 4 inches.
Other than them I had a angel pair lay 200+ eggs but by the next morening the parents had ate every last one.
With the livebears I had a 3 inch female guppy that dropped 60 to 70 fry for 4 months befor she died.

I had a female Sailfin Molly, Poecilia velifera, that was about 6 inches long and she gave birth to about 300 fry in 6 1/2 hours.

Ditto, though most spawns I've had (over 150) have been in the 100 range.
