Convict. they would breed in a puddle
You need minimum 10 gallon tank

i was going to say yello lab...electric yellow labs too.. pretty easy.. and for that size tank they are a smaller african cichlid.. many of them are easy to breed but you would need larger tank... why do you want to breed..just curious.. because you will get alot of babies and you will need to raise them in bigger tank eventually... and the females will be reproducing again...and again...so you need a place to keep them until they are grown big enough to sell..
