such as? are they easy/hard? sell for much?
 
you should talk to local fish stores and see what they mite take off you. and see what kind of market is around your area before you make a decision. unless you plan to ship. i suggest breeding a fish you know everything about and use wild caught fish for breeders that way you can sell F1's to people who are willing to pay for quality fish

what tank would u breed in?

well i was asking if anything was suitable for a 100 litre...
 
Dont think convicts are really a fish that most people would buy they are easy to breed once you have a pair and are very prolific breeders. None of the lfs in my area stock them because most fishkeepers know this and therefore they have little or no resale value.
I have bred convicts, as well as all the popular livebearers (guppies platies mollies) as well as egg layers like danios and to be honest any fry I raised were taken by the lfs for credit or swopped for food, plants, fish etc.
Unless you go breeding on a large scale its not really going to make you money. :)
