White cloud minnows are a favorite of mine now. had them in a n outdoor tub for 3 days now and they are constantly spawning. incredible fish as well.

 

[brandonsfish]

Awesome anything else and what's the usual price on them. Do you think I could breed them outdoors

Oh yeah, they love to be outdoors. Ive had mine for 3 days outdoors and they've been spawning constantly. If you provide dense enough plantings you will have lots of fry survive. They don't really eat their fry or eggs. Theya re a great choice for outdoor breeding also because they do best in cooler water down to 40 degrees. Really beautiful fish. They can be $3 for normal fish but for the long finned specimens (meteor minnows) they are around $12 each.

No problem, update this thread when you decide what fish to breed!

Cichlids are fun to breed. As the parents will actually care for the fry until they're about 1/2. It would be cool to breed GBRs a pair would fit nicely in a 20g. I've breed jewel cichlids but their fry is not worth anything.

Yeah I was thinking some rams what about apistos

 

[elephantnose]

I like apistos but they have never been in stock near me. If you decide to buy rams go to germanbluerams.com you can get a pair for $20 shipped. Brookster a member has breed apistos.

Yeah I know same problem I could ask my LFS but I've never seen them and thanks for that info but I'm from Canada so it might not ship to me

 

[elephantnose]

Oh true. Shipping for apistos in the us is like $40 can't imagine what it would cost to get an apisto shipped to canada.

Yeah that is unfortunate sadly but no big deal. Anything else I should go for

White clouds apparently breed like crazy and don't eat their babies. They also like to be kept outdoors.

If I had the money, I would breed two or three types of guppies in a heavily planted twenty. Start with about six females and four males and wait a couple days. In a month or so you'll have like fifty fry swimming around. If you want to sell/keep them then take them out and put them in a separate tank or breeder because the adults eat babies. When you get a lot of them I suggest letting nature take it's course and leave the babies in. You'll end up with a breeding frenzy I'm that tank


Namirah?Canadian, Eh??

 

[brandonsfish]

Yeah I'm already breeding Guppy's in one of my ponds but thanks

 

[Fishfanboy]

Killifish?

 

[brandonsfish]

I want to but I don't want to have to wait for the eggs to hatch

 

[brandonsfish]

Update I got a pair of rams 11 neons , just spawned and a male and female betta should I try to breed the bettas

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Bettas cam be a little difficult to bed because you can't really put the male and female in n the same tank, the male will kill her. They have a wikihow on how to do it, and it is pretty accurate
