I am getting a cheap 35 gallon tank with a good hob and heater and all the neccesities, but I weant to know whats an interesting. BIG I like big fish that I could breed and hopefully make a profit? Something that is in demand? Or perhaps something on a large scale? IDK but what fish would be good?
 
Danio's??? That might work, I dont need to make tons of money I just want to make enough to support my hobby, like get food and maybe medicine thats it, I was thinking apisto's? Pleco's might be cool, but I have heard they are hard to breed....
 
By zebras i meant zebra pleco if you bred those you could make alot if you breed danios you probably wont even be able to sell them, how about some of the more expensive bettas or the rarer apistos.
 
you could try rainbows too
 
Breeding fish to sell takes more than just a single tank. Along with the tank for the parents to breed in you will also need seperate tanks for each spawn to grow out to marketable size.
 
Oh yah, but dont worry, I have two 10 gallon tanks on stand by. As long as they are peaceful, cause those two 10's have convicts and one with killifish. But I believe they will be ok, they just need to be big enough not to get eaten by the parents, and not too small to be eaten by the inhabitants of the other tanks, s solution? NET BREEDER. Got one, that should work. And idk about bettas because I would have to get a good strain and those could run pretty high.
