Sweat! thanks for the link sandtiger.
jighead or sandtiger or anybody: so, if I had a handfull in a 10 gallon with sponge filter and some caves, I should be able to get fry without haveing to move anybody to another tank. basically I just want to put them in 10 gallon and take some out everyonce in a while for a snack without haveing to worry about running out.

I would probably just put 1 male in the tank and 2 or 3 egg-bearing females and make sure there is one or two good caves for them to lay eggs in. After the eggs are laid take out the females and let the male do its thing!
Ok, so when they lay eggs, the females become the first snack, then after they hatch, the male becomes snack, then I have to wait for them all to grow up.
If I were to remove them, this is how it would have to be, 'cause I don't have another tank to "move fish to and from"
Is there perhaps a fish that is less maintanance to breed, and breeds fast, like guppies, or danios? Thanks for all the help so far.

just buy a cheap storage tub..wash it out and throw some water in it then put the male and females into the tub
Convicts breed like roaches lol. When their fry become free swimming feed the parents to your fish and soon you will have dozens of babies, just make sure to save at least one pair!
would I be able to keep convicts in a 10 gallon? do convicts even eat there babies, I didn't think they did?
No, I would suggest a 29g for convicts or at the very least a 20g long. Truthfully there is not much you can do with breeding in a 10g. A 10g is rather small so you would either be overstocked or have to raise tiny fish that wouldn't even be worth the trouble.
