any fishies, shrimps, snails, crabs easy to breed in a smaller home aquarium? 30 gallons as like max
A pair of clowns or bangaii cardinals would be the best bet although not a sure thing. The trick isn't always to get the SW species to mate but for the babies to live.

Before you start, be sure you can be there for the fry at least 6 times a day for feeding. Be sure you have a proper setup so that your fry wont be hurt, eaten, or killed by your equipment and fish. Make sure you have baby brine ready.
Here's a good list of fish that will easily breed in a tank for you:

As far as inverts go, they're incredibly hard to breed in the tanks because of the special needs of their off spring in the larva stages.

I'd agree with the above. The only thing i'd add is that the water quality in the fry tank has got to be pristine at all times.
