Go find a LFS if you have an enormous amount of fish to sell I think that Oscar's are easy to breed,they just need big tanks,I would recommend you an 150 uk gallons for breeding pair,that's minimum!!
you can breed nearly any Chichild fairly easy.

albino longfin BN, red eyes blood swordtail, calico swords, EBJD, flowerhorns, any bright cichlids, blue lobster, white lobster and other bright colored crayfish.
I agree, fancy plecos. Problem is they take a long time to grow up to size. My 'guense bang out fry by the thousand and it takes about a month to get up to about 1". Now that I've saturated the market, every shop in my area will only take 20 at a time and I only get $20 in store credit. So I'd say invest the time and money into a breeding expensive fish, or just keep doing what you love. If you go with the latter, be prepared to have a thousand feeders on your hands.bass N ri;2529258; said:
why not breed corydoras all pretty much are triggered in the same way and in my experience there really easy to breed and if you get sum rly rare ones there normally quite pricey. i set up six tanks once run them all off small internals kept one empty so wen the parents laid they would move into the empty tank and i would raise the young in ther original tank
other people have done it too. if u want to still try here is a link to my old thread just follow all the links the members offeredhttp://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173602 http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195198dzb912;2527891; said:
Bettas are not easily bred. They have complications like killing a mate who doesn't feel like spawning or is incompatible with the mate you have selected. Sometimes it takes several bettas to find a compatible match. Most breeders recommend at least two pairs of the same type to mix and match. Many fish will simply refuse to breed if they don't feel like it, at least they won't kill each other.
Then once you are successful, you need to house multiple males in individual containers. This is time consuming to change all these containers, which needs to be cleaned frequently.
IF you do you not buy expensive breeders from private breeders, most people will not buy your common petshop bred bettas and you will lose money breeding these bettas because you won't be able to place them.
Nothing wrong IHO with a beginner breeding these common petshop bettas, just that it won't be profitable.
Then there's the factor of receiving defective/ shipping damaged bettas who not only don't spawn, but are also disease prone and or handicapped and require much TLC to stay alive. There is no lemon law for fish so you are on your own. This will make things less profitable when you factor in replacing losses and shipping expenses.
I'm not sure where they fall in the grand scheme of things, just know they are not easy to breed.
