If you’re starting out, try Zebra Danios. They are an easier type of egg-layer to begin with. If you’re up for more of a challenge, Angelfish can be interesting with their way of laying eggs in rows on a piece of slate or other smooth surface.
Siamese fighting fish are easy to breed. The male make a cool nest.
I like my cherry barbs … I only have a 10 gallon tank; but they only get about 2 inches so I can have a few of them before I run out of room.
Hariquins look nice too. They’re even smaller; so getting a nice school of them going isn’t too bad if you have a smaller tank.
Tetras,chiclids, angel fish,picoutimas,gouamis,barbs to name just a few. I had some very pretty veil tail angel fish for quite a long time . One lived to be 10 years old and his body (not including his tail) was about the size of your palm. I got him when he was only about he size of a quarter. They are pretty and fascinating to watch. Bronze Cory Cat fish are neat too. I love watching mine do what I call the cat fish dance. They wiggle while swimming rapidly up and down in the water at times. It is quite fun to watch
pacus and oscars are not just fun but very challenging to breed.
it will take your lifetime to do it!
