Hi
Thank you to all for helping me with the previous advice. Ive thought of another question that id like you to help me with please. My question is, what fish would sell best and what size tank would i need to buy? i was thinking discus or cichlids but i don't think this tank is big enough even if i did sell them as young ones. here it is:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tropical-fish-tank-4-ft-aquarium-glass-breeding-3-parts-/190538173621?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item2c5cf5ccb5#ht_2961wt_1163

It s half decent price for wat you get, but if i say i bought 2, would it be big enough to breed them. if not, can you find me any more tanks like this, that can be delivered and is really cheap,

Thanks alot
Mike
 
Some of the rarer Cichlids would be a good seller as would rarer Cory's. Apistogramma's seem to be very popular atm, and if you can source some that aren't as common then you will be laughing.

Yeah i know :) , im really excited about getting this going, its just finding a shop or shops to sell them to, wish me luck :) last question though was size aquarium will it need to house them and fry?
 
18x12x12 is the general size used for breeding smaller fish. Grow out tanks will need to be around 3ft in length. I don't think height and width is as important as length.

Nice that makes sense, if i bought a 7ft aquarium, with a 2000l aquarium, but how hard is it to breed discus?

No experience of discus, but why would you need a tank that big? A few members on here have them spawning in 4-5ft aquariums.
