Im looking to breed something in my 30 gal, other than guppies. I was thinking some smaller plecos or some Cichlids (other than convicts), but I'm not sure what species will thrive is such a small tank. If you have any ideas or any experience please let me know.
what can I breed in a 30 gal?

Blue rams would be cool to have. You could put at least 5 or 6 in a 30 gal. Apistogramma or Microgeophagus ramirezi (both of these names are used 
) max out around 2-3 inches and are a very colorful species of small cichlid. They are also a peaceful cichlid. They like planted tanks with lots of hiding places and actually stay out in the open more when they have mutiple retreats. The chances of spawning these fish greatly increase when you put a group in a larger aquarium. They are a fun little fish that I am planning on keeping here again in the near future.

You do need a 30 gallon to do the job. You can use something smaller if you want and give it the right environment. Also, if you are serious then try something easy like convict before trying something hard. I'll give you a chance to overcome the little to accomplish the big.
