i was wondering what i could breed in a 55 gallon and many 10 gallon tanks i want some thing easy to breed and bring in enough profit to fund the hobby.
 
u will never be able to make money in this hobby but if u bred a rare cichild then maybe..
 
im not looking to make heaps just a bit hear and there for me to be able to grow my collection mostly just doing it for the fun of it but its always nice for a little in return.

ok then if u want easy i would try getting 1 male and 7 female of yellow lab cichlids..
 
will these be ok in a 55 considering the amount and how hard is it to breed them any info would be great how to sex age or size needed to breed? will the babys need to be taken out when spawned?. what to feed babys? sorry that my reply are really spaced apart im at school and can only use computers in certain classes and for the goody 2 shoes im doing my work dont worry.

Mouth-brooder. Easily breed. Keep one male with 3-4 females. The female will brood for up to 3 weeks. You can tell if a female is brooding by her enlarged mouth and the fact that she isn’t eating. Fry accepts most kinds of food. Brooding females can be isolated for more productive breeding. It is recommendable to try to make the isolation as short as possible to avoid that the females loses their social status which may cause fights once they are returned. Stress might cause the females to eat eggs and fry. Some fry may survive in a community tank.
 
Just listen to severum and you've got it. Use one of your 10 gallons for a grow out, don't overfeed and make sure the babies aren't weened to early or too late for the mother and the babies sake, hope I helped
