i need a source of money, doesn't need to be much, i jus need money...

my question is what is a fish that i can breed in a 55g (maybe bigger depending if i sell my rhom), that i can distinguish sexes easily, and will make fry that my LFS might buy.
the fish also need to be easier to breed them RB

Also, im pretty sure doing this and selling the fry on this forum is illegal, so please understand, im not going to do that, im having a hard enough time selling my rhom, and i would need the money quick, so i would sell to my LFS, not here/any online forum, any advice help me out!
 
Your looking at $1000 dollars plus to get started breeding for profit. Pick up a part time job and you'll be much better off. The only quick thing I could even think of for you to breed is Convicts and a store may give you 5 cents for a convict fry.
 
yeaaa, thats wat i was afraid of. Getting a part time job isnt an option...so this is like my second to last resort, im jus hoping there is a way to get money from it, even if its like 20 bucks a "batch"
 
try fire mouth meeki of flower horns might be hard though
 
Yeah man If you want to breed something honestly go with Crested Geckos or Gargoyle Geckos. There not fish, but at 50-100 dollars a baby you can make a decent profit.
 
wow, im gonna look into that, i was told snakes are profitable breeders, but i dont allow snakes on my property, didnt know you could breed gheckos and make money
 
I dont know what the hell the other guy is talking about:screwy:
Buy 4 nice discus, once 2 pat off, try to get fry
Or buy Uaru, they sell for $5-$10 each at quarter size
Look at good quality Angel fish, Koi's always bring good money
