Best fish to breed and make money

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You could try zebra plecos, (L46, L98, L173). They can go for up to $200, and seem to be in somewhat of demand from what I've seen. Nice looking fish and they don't get very big. A friend and I had thought about trying it.Zebra.jpgL46.jpg

How about breeding feeder fish. Price per fish is low but volume is high. If your friend can keep a good supply of healthy feeder fish coming consistently on the market he can sell as many as he can breed. That was a problem when I had gars.

I've heard they don't breed in captivity.

You could try high quality koi. You wouldn't even need a heater which would help keep your overhead low and they spawn an incredible amount of fry.

I hope that link works. Zebras do breed in captivity.

Any koi is going to need an enourmous tank or most typically a pond. So id say this is a great idea, if you have a 1000+ gallon tank. If not some smaller fish would be great. But high quality koi have an insane amount of babies and they sell for normally over $10 depending on size and quality. You can make a living off of koi lol. You just gotta get the right ones ;)
