I decided to do a side project from my big tank with my small 10g tank. My plans are to breed small fish/shrimp and sell them and make some videos tracking my progress showing if I loose money break even or gain with my project. Right now I have 10 red cherry shrimp being shipped to me and some java moss. From what I understand the java moss is easy to keep up and will grow decently and can sell by the 1/2 cup or cup. The cherry shrimp I have seen many people in my area looking to buy some and will also post on here and aquabid when and if that time comes. My question is what else should I put in the tank that people often buy and isn't that hard to maintain? Should I go with another type of shrimp and just go with that, or some type of small fish? Any info and tips would be great also any experience stories! This is just a fun project I will be working on.

Dude get some more expensive shrimp than cherry shrimp, something someone will want to pay for. Get some ifga guppies too.
 
Get some ifga guppies too.
What qualifies as "IFGA Guppies", and where do you get them? I bought some Blue lace metalheads, which are spawning like crazy for me — is there a market for them?
