i would like to breed something easy but small like a guppy or something. i would be breeding them for my fish to eat so non of the babies would be in the tank for two long no more than 2 days. so could you help me come up with some good small easy to breed fish and if you could tell me how big of a tank i will need for them. i will already be breeding brine shrimp
 
any livebrearer will pop out a hundred fish or so every 30 days. guppies, platies, swordtails, one male and 2 or 3 females in a 10 gallon with lots of plants to protect the babies and you got a party.
 
mosquito fishes, mollies They are bred just like guppies just throw some in a 10 gallon and have alot of cover like kickthefool said. Or if you want to go cichlid you can breed a pair in a 20 gallon but i recommend a 30 they are fairly easy to breed and one stop once they start you'll also need decor in the tank if you want to do convicts have some rocks and flower pots for them to spawn on (they are substrate spawners) .
