The short answer is yes, you'll need a certification to breed fish for sale.

Aquaculture Certification Program, Licensing Permits Registrations - FDACS

You'd need a bunch of other stuff business-wise as well. But that aside, personally I would get a good system going, you don't need a license and all that if you are still just a hobbyist. Get your system going and figure out how to start pumping out lots of fish. Once you get everything in place and actually start making money then take the step to becoming an official business.
