CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

I'm interested in breeding fish. However, there are several factors I'm taking into account.

I can always feed anything I can't sell to my cichlids, so overcrowding isn't an issue.

I've been told by two LFS's that they don't buy convicts because they are so common nowadays.

Would the marble blue convicts be a good combination of easy to breed yet still have a market to sell them?

I've got a Striped Rafael Catfish that cost me $13 and they've been hard to find. Would this be a decent breeding choice because they aren't common?

I have a beautiful and mellow Jack Dempsey. I was thinking he would be a good fish to breed for his color and temperment but Jacks are pretty common and cheap so maybe there's little to no market.

I'm also pretty interested in Green Terrors. They are a beautiful fish and fun to watch/interact with.

What else are fairly non-common that I might get a breeding pair and have success with?

i never heard of any1 havin alotta sucess breeding any kinda of cats except redtail cats ( my dad in south carolina(my real one) has a bunch of humungo red tail cats)

i used to have like 5 or 6 rapheal cats in my first tank and they never liked light in the like 2 years i had um and they grew realy slow and u best call the cops cuz u got robbed i payed like 4 dollars a piece at walmart and they still order them so they cant b that rare lol

goodluck and tell me what kinda cats r breedable anyways


*peace*

Out of the fish you mentioned Green Terrors would probally be the easiest to sell or trade back to fish stores.

Would the marble blue convicts be a good combination of easy to breed yet still have a market to sell them?

For a short time,yes - but they breed so fast and easy by the time you have the 3rd spawn ready to sell,a few other people will probally be breeding the babies from your first group.
