convicts breed like crazy and if you want you could breed pink convicts or make the new craze of marbled convicts which is a cross between a regular convict with a pink convict
Best breeding starter
- Thread starter Garshark
- Start date
Females will have a lot of orange around the belly. Very good starter fish for breeding.

i agree with Matt S , its best to start with something easy like convicts or firemouths . convicts are simple males are just grey with black stripes and the female are similar to males but they have a orange or gold on their stomach they will breed in just about any size tank bigger then a 10 gallon . i've kept a pair in a 20 high for like a week when i first got them n they spawned a number of batches of fry that i used as feeder cause not many lfs are willing to buy convicts from breeds cause they spawn so easily. firemouths are good too. i have a pair about 3" in a 29 high rearing their fry , these are harder to sex best thing to do is get 4-10 juveniles at 1" or so let grow up and pair off , the good thing about them you can have more then one pair in the same tank cause they work as a community . its really your choice to make what to breed . study up one the type you intend to breed and get extra tanks for fry and other pairs. good luck.
I believe that Convicts are the easiest to breed cause all you need is a male and female ,cave and a temperature of about 78/82 degrees .
What kind of goldfish? He might outgrow that very soon most goldfish don't stay small at all your no3 are probably VERY high even for convict fry. And he'd would most likely eat all of them.
