As the thread title suggests, im wanting to breed some other kinds of fish (easily), ive bred guppies/platies/mollies and they was so easy, and i hardly even had to do anything so im wanting the new kind to be easy too, the new fish that im going to breed needs to be able to stay in a tank with 12-15 assortments of guppies/mollies/platies also 2 corys and a female fighter.

Its a 260 Litre tank, too

Thanks :)
 
Corydoras, are fairly easy fish to breed, just have a somewhat large school of them and add tons of cover, then you are almost garanteed to have babies

Right........ first problem, how do you tell the gender of a Cory? Ive got 2 Albino Corys, and do they lay eggs or livefry?
 
The females are noticeably rounder from a top view. If you get atleast ten then you should have atleast 3 of different genders from the rest.
They are egg layers, topmost fish are known to eat Cory eggs, so you should ideally have a breeding net, and tons of cover, java moss is an easy fast grower that will provide the optimum amount of cover if there is enough
 
Swordtails, but they would be similar to platies etc anyway.
 
I would've suggested kribensis but not with a fighter in the tank, might work might not. But they breed easily given a few caves and plenty of personal space.
