Would love to breed plecs one day though, I heard commons are impossible to breed.

 

[Akasha72]

Guppies (all the fry have been eaten though) and my platies ... just added my fry to the main tank yesterday

It would be nice to see cory babies but that's wishful thinking

I can't say I tried too hard with my boeseman's rainbowfish; they started spawing a fortnight after I bought them, onto a conveniently easy to remove clump of java moss. This I pulled out of the aquarium (even exposed some of it to the air), dumped it in a sandwich bag clothes pegged to the side of the tank. I did 50% or so water changes daily using the specific gravity/alcohol content measurer from my home brewing kit. Fed the fry on blended hard boiled egg yolk solution, chucked a cherry shrimp in too to clear up uneaten food. Once they were big enough they were bunged into the fry tank alongside comparitively enormous guppy fry.

I kept back the most vigorous one. Just shy of two inches now; sex not obvious yet but I'm beginning to think it's a girl. Time will tell.

Breeding the fish is where the fun is at in this hobby, in my opinion. It's great fun.

Same with me with my old platys

Lol

 

[snake007]

I think you only breed fish when you've put a pair together, condition the fish and raise the fry yourself.
I can't really say i've bred convicts since I did nothing at all, Lol.

 

[Iiriva]

Black mollies
orange platys
brislenoses

But those are fish you don't actually need to "breed" - sometimes they are too easy, so there's too much of babies you can't get rid of even when you could give them away for free.

Our two pairs of sajica cichlids are trying though, but they haven't managed to even lay any aggs no matter how much they try. They're still young, so maybe in time one of the pair will succeed and then I have loads to take care off and sell.

 

[Baccus]

Guppies (gee that was hard )
Swordtails
Platties
Mollies
Sailfins

Goldfish/ Comets
Peppered Corydoras
Strebia Corydoras
Common Bristle Nose

Forgot I once had my jewel fish breed in my pond, first I knew about it was when my goldfishes fins where torn to shreds.

Cherry shrimp - currently kinda working on developing blue ones

Rams horn snails and Maylasian Trumpet snails- hang on they wont stop multiplying so I guess don't really count .



Planning on trying to get some more native shrimp and start breeding them, as well as getting my Khuli loaches to breed and possibly the Pakatani Loaches (the female can't be comfortable that full of eggs ). Also wouldn't mind trying my hand at breeding fighters but am leary of finding places to put a lot of young males once they start getting aggro. Also hope to breed my other cory's and if possible get some more types.
