Dude... You have changed what you want, how many tanks, type of fish literally 20 times. What is it u wanna know about? Green terrors? Catfish? You can NOT keep all those bichirs and cats in a 180! 7x3 base minimum for all you listed!

Honestly, in my experiance breeding fish doesn't really help fund anything and you end up putting more money into the breeding then you get out of it. Unless you are a wholesaler or vendor you are not gonna be making 100's like you might think... Trust me dude... I am just like you with my thoughts and for all the times i try breeding i never get profit... I recommend you simply focus ALL your time and energy into the cats and 3 community tanks... Just my thoughts...

I would do a tank with 3 foot width cuz they are all bottom dwellers and will need room... Or i would personally just do 2 75s and put the more territorial cats in 1 tank and the less territorial cats in the other...

I dis agree, if you find rare fish and tanks at a good price it pays for itself, it takes a while but it will, unless your breeding super common stuff like yellow labs, jewels or oscars.

But it turns into a whole other project. And then you have problems like, "oops, i accidentally got 2 males instead of a pair and it got killed". Or "they are not breeding and I spent all my money on the setup and now can not even do the catfish tank". Or "they are fighting so i need to setup another tank to seperate them". Or "nobody wants the fry". Or "the parents are eating the babies". So many things can go wrong and he is thinking he is gonna be getting hundreds from a few fish and be a big "breeder" butbit will most likely fail.

I breed high quality red jewel and over the course of 3 years they have only made 100$ total... 3 years... TONS of work and care and tanks etc. are put into it and the money i get for selling MIGHT pay for a months worth of enhancing food... MIGHT.
And mine are one of the #1 highest quality strains with very good genes and even have paperwork.
