Best Breeding Fish??

[fish wrangler]

Shell.
Freakin'
Dwellers.

(Neolamprologus multifasciatus)

Seriously, I got them 6 months ago. They breed easily, they raise their own fry, their behavior is over-the-top and engrossing to watch. You could easily keep them in a 10 gallon. I seriously cannot recommend them enough.

If you want a challenge? Try breeding kuhli loaches in one of the 10's.

Challenge is otocinclus

That's another good one. Not really sure which is harder.

Blue bolts and SSS crystal reds also sell for a lot of money.

 

[Fishdude3233]

SSS+ crystal reds don't cost a ton either.

Any livebearer will just start reproducing. Mollies, platies, guppies

Those shrimp sound awesome! Including the blue bolt and sss.

But talk to me a bit about breeding shrimp, assume I know nothing. Shrimp probably need a sponge filter?

What about water conditions and do they breed rapidly? Or if I buy 6 shrimp, I might not have a chance

Neocarndia shrimp will breed in pretty much any water, and I usually suggest getting 10 shrimp, also you can't mix different neocarndia shrimp in the same tank. An a sponge filter will work fine

The Australe cost about that much at my LFS. They are more in other places.

The Gardneri cost me $20 - $25

When you're faced with steep costs for imported fish we are facing steep costs for imported Australian corals

Peacock gudgeons?

Peacock gudgeons?

I've heard those are fairly easy. And really pretty fish.

Guppies are easy and if you have to manny just feed them to other fish as feeder fish and save some money on food


Keep calm and drum on

Why not? Neocaradina will not breed with caradinas.
You can't mix red cherry and snowball for instance. They are both neocaradina and you will lose the whites eventually.

Op said no live bearers.

I said not to mix two neocarndia species in the same tank. I'm thinking you misread my post.

I think so I miss read.. lol
Anyways, mixing isn't really a bad thing if you aren't breeding them and just keeping in a community tank. My red cherry+Fire Reds+ yellow shrimps have become wild type now.
