| Easy Breeders
I'm looking to make some $$$$ back for my tanks. I'm looking for fish that are easy breeders, but ones that I can actually sell the fry. Any ideas? |

| No one tends to sell platy fry, it's usually given away. The only livebearer I'd consider would be a fancy variety of molly or endlers. There are NO endlers around me.
I was thinking more about American Cichlids. | |

| Perhaps you could try angelfish(or similar cichlids) as they sell for quite a bit where i live, or you can try livebearers who dont sell for too much but are produced in massive numbers!!! | |

| I was thinking Angels, I'm looking on Aquabid for pairs. But others on the forum haven't been having much luck in getting viable fry. My Cons are all breeding, but the fry doesn't fo for much. I was also thinking about BN plecos. | |

| I have had platys & mollies before. But I just can't get money for livebearers, for the most part. | |

| I would say cichlids or pleoc's. I spent ALLOT of time on aquabid just searching for what sold and for how much. There are a ton of cichlids that you can breed fairly easy and make some money on. Cons aren't one of them darn it!!..lol. Peacocks, and some of the tangs are really good sellers. The BN pleocs go pretty cheap on aquabid so it's best you find a rarer variety. My long finned L-144's go for about $18.00 each on aquabid and they are just as easy as ABN to breed. IF you decide on ABN or BN go with the long finned. They sell for a considerable amount more. Good luck and let us know what you decided. | |

| There are a few apistogramma species that will breed fairly easily in a species tank. Cacatuoides and borellis come to mind, I'm sure there are some others that I'm forgetting (there are tons of apisto species, some of them are easy to breed compared to others). I had an a. steindachneri pair that spawned several times in my 55 gallon discus/community tank when I had that going, and that was without even trying. You could easily house a pair in a 20 gallon, and probably make a little money.  | |

| I have been spending a lot of time on Aquabid, looking at fish.
I think I may try my hand at BN's, just to be sure I can manage it, then I will splurge for the LF variety. I may also try to find a Firemouth pair, as they don't sell many around me. | |
