Best Breeding Fish??

[Trainer_Ruby_]

Op said no live bearers.

Missed that sorry. You could do bettas they're not live bearers I believe and it's a bit of a change to keep them from killing each other


Keep calm and drum on

He didn't say no livebearers, just no mollies, platies or guppies.

How about Danio margaritatus, the celetial pearl danio? They sell for a good amount of money (maybe $5-8 each plus shipping; a school of 6 is currently bid at $30 on aquabid.com) and breed fairly easily if you have the time to collect fry. You may need a small (5 gallon) tank to put the adults in over java moss for them to spawn.

Also they are extremely beautiful.

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

Curse our Australian laws.... I'd pay $80-$100 for my gardneri udi berge pair....

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.

It it's a bad thing at all but I think OP is hoping to breed with plans to sell.

Isn't it crazy? I think I paid $15 for my pair then $5 or $6 for an additional female not long after.

I guess I'm just lucky my neighbour breeds them by the dozen and got mine for free ?....
