Group Breeders.

[JLee]

I am looking for a type of fish that will breed in group/colony, like 1 male and 2-5 females. I would prefer them to be mouth brooders, and around 1-4 inches; 6 inch would be okay. Thanks for the help.

I tried searching on here and google, but there was not much info.

Based off of your listings, I would say that you are only limited to african cichlids. A very nice one if you can find them would be Haplochromis sp. ruby green. You should be able to find some since they aren't that rare.

What size tank and tankmates are you planning to add them to?

Pretty much any of the mbuna cichlids fit into your description, most of them between 4 and 6 inches but a lot of them are very common, very colorful, and not too expensive.

Saulosi are group mouth brooders around 3.5 inches.
