I've set up a small 10 gallon freshwater breeding tank thats only got a few snails and plants and some hiding spots in there. I'm curious as to what would be the easiest fish to start off trying to breed. :confused:
 
your basic livebearers are probably the easiest, all you have to do is keep them alive lol, they will pop out babies every 28-30 days or so. This includes guppies, endlers, mollies, platys, swordtails. Be ready to deal with 20-30 fry per female per month given optimal conditions.
 
Funny story about that I bought 2 mystery snails at petsmart that are in the tank now that are like.. still goin at it.. so I'd say success. I wanted to try blue gourami's. Any tips?
 
gu[[ies convicts and molies is about right,,,, atm im breeding mollies and guppies but jus bought 4 convicts to give it ago.. im going to try and breed the convicts in my piranha tank (doubt it will happen but im gonna try anyway)

you're gonna try to breed convicts in a piranha tank?!

how big are your p's and how big are you're adult convicts?
 
I do believe snails do not count as fish.
