Have you had fish breed for you?
We've had a lot of fish breed for us of the past 2 years of being in the hobby. Most did it on their own in the main tanks, without any help from us, but we/I helped raised their young.
~Lake Malawi African cichlids: yellow labs, steveni peacocks, blue haps, acei
~ Convicts (who hasn't?)
~Kribensis
~Diamond tetra ( a mysterious fry appeared a year ago)it is female
~SW Clown fish (didn't raise their young, but the man who has them now says they are his most productive breeding pair
~Guppies when we first got into the hobby
What about you? What fish would you like to breed for you?
I'd like to getting a breeding pair of fancy betta to breed, and our angels. Once the bristle nose plecos are both ready to breed we are going to let them breed too. I really want to breed angelfish, b/c they have been so hard to keep the eggs after they've laid them.

Ive had lots of fish... including the infamous baby producers the platy and mollies. Only one time did I find a few fry swimming in the tank and I didnt even know that there were any pregnant fish. May have had the fry during the night, that by morning when i noticed something tiny swimming by, they were gone in a second...  and that was only a few fry.
Since then.. and all the other fish I have kept, I have never had any fry or pregnant fish. Now I purposely make sure that I keep the males separated from the females, since I really do not want to breed them.

Yes, angelfish and Gold severums. The parents always ate all the eggs, and I was fine with that since I had no interest in raising hundreds of fry!

I've had guppies and swordtails breed without even knowing it. I noticed one baby swordtail hiding among the plants in my tank. I put him in a breeder and raised him and now he is in with my big swordtails! Also, when I converted my 10 gallon to a betta tank, I noticed a baby guppy swimming around with Dusty in his half of the tank. Needless to say, I guess Dusty likes his little friend cause the little guy is still there after about 3 weeks.

You mean lucky me that they didn't breed. The pair I got was probably not a m/f and they were my first cichlids. Then I got discus and angels who both laid eggs but I've never seen any wigglers.
Yes you got lots of my babies. Any luck on finding those deep water haps?
