how many babies would you expect to have to sell from each spawning?

This deepends on how many spawn I know someon got a TON of fry just from 3 pairs. And people are always wanting RBP! Oh, and if you could find out where to get geryi piranha and breed them you would be a millionaire in less than a year probly they are the holy grail!!!

don't be afraid of saltwater, a unstressed mated pair of clown fish breed frequently.
clownfish sell for what 20-30 dollars. they lay hundreds of eggs, if just 20 babies live you can sell them for 10 dollars a piece, for a gain of 200 dollars.
If you get the rare clowns like snowflakes or wide bars the babies will sell for considerably more.

clowns spawn monthly or bimonthly I believe.

the only catch is you will need to seperated the eggs from the parents, until the babies grow a bit.

im looking into discus for future, cannot find much info on tank sizes yet tho.

think i want to try convicts first of all as my first experience as they seems the easiest.

piranhas (red belly) seem quite profitable but am still trying to find out how difficult these are....

what about bristle nose plec's?
yes they are very easy.
