I dont breed cichlids, but i know a lot of people breed convicts.

Yeah apparently they breed like crazy, some people say stuff like "if your convicts aren't breeding, then there isn't any water" lol. I think they lay 300-400 eggs or something crazy like that, which hatch in 3-4 days. Would probably make good fish if you want quick profits.

Good hardy, "just add water" fish .

what about discus? They seem like one of the most expensive FW fish around (save old Koi). I was at an LFS today and their discus were going for $59 each. I can't find another cichlid in the store for more than about $15.

First of all tell us a bit about your tank size, what fish you currently have in there etc.

okat sorry about that, i was in a rush


okay i have a three 4 foot tanks/160litres each empty ready to breed

dwarf cichlids, aspistogramma and rams can be sold to the lfs pretty easily and dont need much room. Also think about corys- rare corys sell for a few $$$

Angelfish might be good. When they're small they don't sell for as much, but you've got enough tanks that you can let them grow out a bit.
