If you have a massive pond and 5-10k to invest in breeding size specimens you can make your money back breeding rays :-D

Profitable fish to breed?
- Thread starter NickoT

It's tough to raise fish for a profit. My two cents:
1. You have to learn how to efficiently raise the fish
2. Keep track of all costs and profits
3. Find people who are willing to buy it.
You may or may not make a strict profit, but sometimes it's nice to just breed fish for fun and be able to offset some of the costs by selling the offspring. Good luck!

+1 just breed what you like and your interested in and sell the babies for offset or profit.

Zebra plecos could pull a profit but theres a high investment upfront. Bristlenose plecos are cheaper and easier.
If they're made of 24K gold, lol. Maybe a little but like MN said if they're rarer strains they are more profitable.
I'm not a breeder at all, but my peacock gudgeons have bred for me. You can keep a pair or two in a 10g tank. I didn't do anything for them except give them clean water and good food.
I did remove the male and eggs to a seperate tank so they wouldn't get eaten though.
I think I read something like 11 weeks before they can be moved on, not sure if that's slow or not. I'm really enjoying watching them grow. They're not super common (at least around me) and are small and beautiful.
Empire Gudgeons might be fun to try..I read that they can be tricky since the eggs drift into brackish water and when they hatch they swim back to freshwater or something like that.
