Hi Gurglar

If you're talking about selling fish to an lfs, any kind of cory is good. So are bristlenose plecos. If you're thinking about selling to individuals, like on AquaBid, then go for the more difficult to find and harder to breed species.

Not gonna be selling to an LFS i'm in the process of getting ideas together to start my own LFS and just want to see what most people buy the best as I don't wanna waste any extra money on fish that don't sell at all when I first start it up. I will most likely go with some rarer types once the business is on its feet.
