Best fish to breed in 10 gallon

[FallenPepper]

Yeah but your going to need multiple tanks for breeding plus some kind of live food culture to feed em

Hey @Colin_T ! What is the fascination with Rainbow Fish. A lot of the Killifish people breed those too. They're pretty but it seems to me that they are like wild trout . They need room to swim and lots of it.

Rainbowfish start off drab silver fish but as they mature, their colours start to appear. And when males are full grown and showing off to each other and to the females, they are quite stunning to watch.

The bigger rainbowfish need tanks that are at least 3 foot long but there are pygmy rainbows and blue-eyes (Pseudomugil sp.) that only grow to 1-2 inches long, and these are fine in smaller tanks.

Rainbowfish are very easy to breed and can produce hundreds of eggs each week for months on end.
If the babies are looked after properly, they can reach maturity in 3-4 months and be sold then.

The following link has pictures and information about rainbowfish.

EDITED TO ADD, THE WEBSITE IS CRAP. THE STUPID LINK CRAPPED ITSELF AGAIN.
THIS IS STARTING TO GET REAL ANNOYING.
