I belong to a couple of aquarium clubs and like to have my fish breed so that I can bring in some fry to sell to other members of the clubs. I also sell to a few stores including a wholesaler (when I get a large spawn). The fish that I have the most interest and success with are the American Cichlids. There are not too many of the old time American Cichlids that I have not spawned (there are new ones to pursue when I get to them though). What are the fish that yo enjoy the most to raise and breed?

I am a moderator aquariumpros.com. You can go there and ask any questions that you wish to about taking care of your aquarium and fish.The list of books is a library full and I do not think that it would be any good to list hundreds of good books here.

I love beta, (Fighting fish) and have bred them a number of times. I don't sell them, though I did ask the local fish nook once and he offered to buy them once they were big enough. I had no intent to sell them but was curious if they would buy from someone. But breeding fish is a very fun hobby. It can be frustrating too, Lol, if you lose all your fry.
But I've got some nice looking crown tails, and fan tails. I love when they grow and you see what the colors of your fish are. Makes me want to start again, but it's also very time consuming and I've been so busy.

i am never able to breed my fish as they die soon after 5-10 after buying it.
but if in future i will be able to breed it then i would only do it for fun.I dont have much knowledge about those fishes which are their in my aquarium but they are gorgeous looking orange coloured ones and a black one too.
