[BOD]

me and my mate want to breed something, but we dont know what...something easy, but not livebearer, he's thinkin mouth brooder but i dont really know what they are..ne suggestions on easy and beautiful fish to breed..what have you successfully tried...

 

[troutfly]

If you have the space, a set of African Mouth breeders would do nicely.

 

[Macracantha]

Easiest of all.....White Cloud Mountain Minnows.....

Others easy too......Zebra Danios, Cherry barbs, plenty of the barbs in fact!

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

I would recommend any of the danios- i currently have some pearl danio fry of my own and they are quite attractive fish too.

Hi BOD

If you like cory cats, either the bronze or the albino C. aeneus would be an excellent choice. Peppered corys, the C. paleatus, are good too.

bronze corys are really easy to breed. just make sure you have the right foods to feed to the fry

 

[LoachLover]

The Yellow Lab is a nice fish

 

[bobwumba]

kribs are good

Zebra danios are really cool. I am going to try and mate them soon. I have 5 zebra danios and 5 sunset platies. All male and going to bring in the females soon

The corys Inchworm mentioned are really a good starting point. Inchworm gave me lots of good advice thoughout my first cory spawning and although I've only got 3 of the babies it was a great learning experience without costing a lot of money or that much more up keep time than my livebearer fry. Mine are the paleatus variety.

If you have so many spare tanks and are up to it - you may want to look into breeding some three-spot gouramies (or any of its color morphs - blue, gold, opaline etc) as they are deffinately beautiful and the easiest gourami to breed. Feeding the fry is realy the only issue.
