What is the most profitable fish that can be bred at home?
 
Zebra Plecos, and around here Galaxy Rasboras... er, Celestial Pearl Danios.
 
Pearl rays can go for 800 pounds a peice.
Probably the most rarest of all feshwater rays.

Zebra Pleco's are very hard to find, and if you breed them, you can sk for a nice price for selling them.

Electric Blue Can be bred quite easily but can require around 14+ months to do so.

Here's how to produce Adult EBJDs starting with eggs (Theoreticaly, unless you are already breeding them). For each step you can skip, you save about 12-14+ months, so the whole process takes about 3-1/2 years.

JD = Regular Jack Dempsey
BGJD = Blue Genotype (Regular Phenotype) Jack Dempsey (Carrying the Blue Gene)

EBJD = Electric Blue Jack Dempsey

Step 1) EBJD X JD = 100% BGJDs

Step 2) BGJD X EBJD = 50% BGJDs and 50% EBJDs

3) note: EBJD X EBJD = 100% fatal (No fry survive, assuming any eggs hatch at all).

Bottom line is that to actually produce EBJDs, you need an EBJD to spawn with a BGJD. This is why most breeders are unwilling to sell BGJDs. If you pair one with a EBJD, you can save years of breeding, feeding and rearing time.
