Your best bet is Red Cherry Shrimp, Very easy to care for,and I make a $1.25ea selling they to my LFS because they are selling them for $5.00ea,the turn around is about 3months,from birth to selling point,They breed like nymphos,Once you get them going you cant stop them,I always have about 20-30 berried females at a time,But stay away from COPPER products even food it is deadly to them,But with everything it costs $ to make $,Try getting them online at like aquabid,there a little cheaper but sometime not very colorful until they get to breeding and have offspring,but chances are that you will get berried females in with a batch,I attached a pic of one of mine berried females with full color ready to go, GOOD LUCK TO YOU

do i sell the fish to a lfs or a big chain? should i just call n' ask?
 
It also depends on your location and the demand for the certain fish/inverts. I can get RCS here for $1.50 so I definitely wouldn't be able to get $1.25 for one... :(
 
what about putting a few spieces of snail in a 20 and just letting em go crazy

I wish there was a demand for pond snails I would be a millionaire, In with my Breeding Shrimp and don't want to use chemicals,I have just been picking them off the walls with a net first thing in the morning.I could set a trap but some of my babies are smaller than the snails,
