FRONTOSA

I third the frontosa. Sometimes you can find a good deal on a breeding colony on aquabid, and I know at least in WA fry 1.5-2.5" easily sell for $25+
They would be Perfect in your 90
Always been a dream of mine... just got to get the money for a breeding colony first... I only have one little guy at the moment @5"...
And they are beautiful fun fish to keep!

Just look to the larger of the cichlids and plecos, mate. Find something that interests you.

You can also try some of the different types of Fulu's. I like the Christmas, and the Dayglow Fulu's. They are very colorful males.

Hit niche markets. Eartheaters and SA Dwarves like certain Apisto. sp. for example.

i disagree go mass market oscars red devils, the things that are fairly cheap but they have huge spawns with high success rates with minimal effort and they fly outta pet stores, and if the lfs can save some change by going with you theyre going to

I would breed fish that are easy to breed and breed lots of them such as live bearers. If you can replace the whole sale supply completely for that type of fish then you will be able to sell them to a LFS.
