Most of my fish haven't been known to readily breed in aquariums so fishwise I haven't bred anything, though my rainbowfish are constantly 'at it'. Eggs just get eaten as soon as they're scattered though. However, I'm not too concerned about this, I don't want more stock, if anything I need to thin out!

On a positive note though, and to add to your thread, my parameters tell me that my BB are breeding very nicely. In fact, between you and I, rumour has it i'm on the shortlist for a champion breeders medal shortly. Lol.

Time to start mentoring some of these noobies on how to breed their BB so they can be successful in fish keeping!
 
Because I've been keeping and breeding fish about 60 years, my list is too long to belabor. so...
About 50 species of cichlids, mostly hard water species, (Central Americans, Africans, even a couple Madagascans).
Never had much luck with soft water cichlid types like Amazonian species, although there have been some southern S Americans.
Half dozen species of live bearers.
Couple species of barbs, killifish, and an Anabantid.
BTW, I do not count those that have had eggs, or fry that didn't make it past the simple free swimming stage, that might include, another 35 species of cichlids.

Many Mbuna Africans
Bristle nose plecos

Probably some I’ve forgotten about, but all mine are easy stuff so I never really mention any of them because just about anybody who can keep fish can breed what I have.
