Ok since we are being hypothetical. Why not a great white:headbang2. Think of the money you could get from sea world:naughty:
i'm sure you could fit a couple adult great white's in your average 2000 gal tank;)
 
guppies hahaha nah

seriously though- clown knife :-)
 
Ok say it is not purely hypothetical.

I have a friend who has a back ground of commercial aquaculture and we are thinking about getting together to culture some exotics that are other wise hard to come by because they are not readily imported from the wild or bred commercially.

For that reason no CA/SA cichlids, no clownloaches, or any other common fish like clown knifes.

Right now we are looking at different characins. P. piraya, P. Caribe, S. Rhombeus, Distichodus sp., maybe even VATF. Also looking into D. Pulchers, and other perciformes such as Korean and jap perch.

We are doing it as more a less an experiment but cause of the cost of the fish themselves we would at least need to make our money back.
 
I'd breed rtc's and tsn's, but you would need WAY more than 2000 gallons. I would get huge props and make tons of dough, because most likely the captive bred ones would be immune to most simple diseases the wild caught ones are very suceptible to.

Maybe Im out of the loop but I thought pretty much all TSNs and RTCs were commercially bred and not wild caught any more.

We may add tigs to the list of "possibles" too...
