Fish to breed?

[Luv4bettas]

Hello I need help on what kind of fish I could breed! Its very fun and I am experienced! They do have to be freshwater. If the fish lay more than 2000 eggs I cannot do that !
Thanks!

Check with your LFS and see what fish are popular and hard to get for them. That way you will have a place to sell what you are breeding.

I used to raise guppies and there were times I had to give them away.

I switched to Endlers and Dwarf crayfish and now my LFS is anxious for me to bring them in.

Rams, apistos and kribs are pretty cool fish also as a mating pair they spawn easily.

Any of the dwarf blue eyed rainbow fish are good ones, as are most killifish.

Peacock Gudgeons are supposedly easy to breed and are a popular sought after fish. So that might be a good option.

Another would be Multis shell dweller cichlids.

Thanks for the suggestions I am still open for more!

If you're willing to work with cichlids, I would try convicts. They are very easy to breed and they stay somewhat small for cichlids. Although they do get very aggressive once they pair up

I don't know about cichlids because a couple years ago my mom said they were to aggressive and I wouldn't want them to die just because I want to breed them. But thanks though!

South American cichlids are generally community compatible. That's dwarf South American cichlids. Larger ones are still aggressive I think.

do not get convicts they will breed like rabbits and you can't give them away , people use them for feeder fish they breed so much
rams are harder to breed the water has to be just right
Endlers would be a easy fish to breed and you might be able to sell them to a lfs , the fancier the better
there always on sale on aquabid

 

[Luv4bettas]

I really can't do cichlids because I don't know anything about them! But thanks for the suggestions because I'll consider them sometime when I learn about them!
Thanks!

You could also try shrimp. Red cherry shrimp are very easy to breed and there's always a market for them. You could then graduate to rarer and more expensive shrimp.

As far as the peacock gudgeons go, you don't see them alot on stores but I have trouble with mine and breeding. They keep eating the eggs/fry. The males stay with the eggs and fan them and then when they hatch the males leave them to their own and they get eaten then. I think they are beautiful fish and are worth a try.

You could do angelfish or some rarer livebearers
