So I was wondering how many people really breed their monster fish for example rtc, tsn, arrowanas, Stingrays, large cichlids (peacock bass, fontosa), and mahseers, an payara? Just too say by what I mean by monster fish anything over a foot long.
Have you guys ever breed your monster fish?

I know a lot of people breed freshwater stingrays, Peacock Bass, and at least 1 person I've seen has bred a rtc. Thats all I know. And I joined only in a few months, but I am pretty sure

Arowanas are rare to breed, the only person I know that has bred them is

and that was by accident

All of mine have been in the cichlid realm, a number not quite monsters, but most a ft or more.
Yeah I know people do breed stingrays what I meant by that mostly rarer stingrays like the whiptailed rays from the amazon or some rarer species of Potamotrygon.I know a lot of people breed freshwater stingrays, Peacock Bass, and at least 1 person I've seen has bred a rtc.

yeah I heard him say it once in one of his videos and honestly I’m pretty interested on how the other species aros breed like the african aros.Arowanas are rare to breed, the only person I know that has bred them is

correct me if I’m wrong but the first cichlid in the photo is of a parachormis right, but I cant tell what the other 3 are.
The first pic is Nandopsis haitiensus, male about 15".
Second pic are the Malagasy cichlids Paretroplus maculatus, @ 12"
3rd Chuco intermedium from Central America, spawned young only 10"
and lastly Leopidiolamprologus elongates from Africa
The intermedium above are with Cincilichthys bocourti

The late nineties had two 2 ft. Marbled Catsharks that dropped egg cases but honestly wasn't trying to breed them.
Only silver arowana, koi and goldfish, and cichlids for me. All by themselves, no coercion needed.
Very interesting array of fish we got here so the point of this thread is too conduct a survey of the people who have breed these monster fish (with consent of course) so the rest of us aquarists can replicate the results because usually when a fish breeds it means that its environment is quite right because at the end of the day who doesnt want their pets too live a better life inside a box.
Edit* also I ain’t gonna lie I’m pretty sure it may look good on a college application.
