Okay so I need a little extra fish funds and I can't think of any ideas of making money since I'm a 13 y/o with a jam packed calendar. So you guys got any ideas as to some easy ish fish to breed to make some money off of? I was thinking something like German Blue Rams or something like that but I need some opinion first.
 
You can try some of the cyptochromis (tang. cichlid). Convict and Jack dempsey breeds easily but fry not really worth anything.
 
You won't really make much money if any at all breeding any type of fish unless you have a basement dedicated to breeding, so just pick a fish you think is interesting and see what your lfs is willing to give you in trade.

I think shrimp like red cherry or crystal red would yield the most offspring and don't require a lot of tank space. Also these shrimp sell for more than most fish at least around here. A red cherry shrimp sells for 7.99 here!
