I wouldn't count the triops since you're hatching those. I wouldn't count the mosquitofish either, since it came pregnant and you didn't breed it.

That being said, I've bred guppies and platys. I've gotten a pregnant mosquitofish as well. If we're counting things hatched, I've hatched horseshoe crabs.
 
Paleatus cories, Sterbai cories, Loxozonus cories, guppies
Rainbow cichlids, Red Cherry Shrimp, Convict Cichlids

...and TONS of coral frags!
 
I usaually try NOT to breed fish. I have some on occation however I will spare the details of those fish, but I will tell you about 2 instresting breeding evens.

1. I had bought 3 Kuli loaches and they were in 10 gallon tank. (this was maybe 16 years ago). Well one died and I flushed it. Well many months had past and I was moving and so I was cleaning the tank out and making sure I got the Kuli's out of there. Well I got one out an put it in a bucket, the I found the other one and put it in a bucket. I was thinking wow this is wierd I do remeber them all being near the same size, as this was 1/2 the size of the first one I netted. Satisfied I got them all I started scooping out the gravel and I found the other "bigger" one. I was like WTF?! Well I ending up getting 2 more in the gravel for a total of 5 so they obviously breed and I never knew. From what I have read breeding Kuli's is a rather RARE thing.

2. Right now I have a Texas and a Red devil pairing up trying to do the wild thing. She laid eggs and they got eaten. Also about 6 years ago I had a Jaguar and a Texas do the same thing.

LOL those Texans must not be picky .

im hoping that the Triops spawn
 
Oh yea I forgot, if you include corals I used to propigate them by the hundreds. Mostly softies.
