how big a tank you have or are going to get

Goldfish are tough to breed in a small tank.

[ewurm]

I agree!

Go with convicts they wont let you down

 

[KillerKlover]

I say go with Africans! They are really easy to breed and colorful!

 

[revkkoolaid]

If your gonna breed oscars you need Looooooooooots of room. (100gal+) Hell, you need lots of room just to "have" oscars.

I would start with something smaller and more easy. Firemouths would be nice, or N. brichardi...I have had a lot of fun breeding these guys.

Where did he say he wants to breed them?

If you want to keep O's you need to have a 75 gallon or more .....

They are fairly easy to keep but you have to keep up with the water changes as they are prone to HITH (Hole in the head) disease.

They grow very fast and need to be fed different kinds of food such as pellets, krill, beefheart, worms, crickets, etc...

Goldfish are even easier to keep as they dont require a heater... but O's have much better personality.
