Breeding any type of fish will take a lot of space. If you only want that one ft by one ft tank then it is best to maybe pick a fish and not breed.

Now that, that is out of the way, one type of fish that is easy to breed and does not cost a lot of money are guppies. Guppies can be very colorful and multiply like crazy! Just have some floating plants at the top and take care of them your set, but once the fry start to grow (this is where the size issue comes in) you will need to move them to either a bigger tank or rehome them because that size is just to small.

How many fry could i fit in my ft tank

If you only have one tank, 1x1 foot, breeding is a very bad idea in my opinion. However, if you have a larger second tank (to move parents to after spawning or giving birth in the 1x1 foot), then you could responsibly entertain a small scale breeding project.

I agree with you it is a bad idea.

Silky96 to answer your question you would only be able to keep around maybe 4-6 unless you want to stun their growth. They are first born you could have a lot because they are extreamly small but they get bigger.. and they grow extreamly fast. So it's not like you would have a lot of time to find them homes. As it was mentioned even with a small scale breeding project you need a bigger tank for the parents. No matter which way you look at it if that one that you are telling us about is the only one you have, it will be extreamly hard to breed anything in there. Sorry..

Unless maybe someone else knows of a fish I dont that would be able to? It would still have to be an extreamly small fish.. But you can always get a betta and he/she can become one of your best friends

I'd suggest not breeding anything, to be honest. I've bred fish for years and a) it's a lot harder than it looks if you want something other than guppies and b) you'll need equipment like a bubble wall, food, probably a brine shrimp cultivating kit, aquarium salt, disease treatments, microscopes are useful... the list goes on. If money isn't something you have right now, breeding probably isn't the way to go.
While guppies are easy to breed and tend to do it of their own accord, you can't stop them and you'll get overrun within a few months. They're hard to sex when they're babies and in my experience, they were already sexually mature (and pregnant) by the time I could tell them apart. I bought one female guppy and within about 6 months, I had over 300. You'll definitely need a bigger tank for that!

I think it is a bad idea to breed them do you even know about how to breed them. You don't just stick them in there it is a process If you just stick them in there they will kill each other please don't breed them unless you know how to properly so don't breed them if you don't know how to
