Hello everyone i was wondering what are 4 of the easiest fish to breed IM doing a project on The breeding of fish in my aquaculture class and was wondering what are the easiest breedable fish out the i already have the Livebearer group Set with mollies/swordtails and need 4 more any suggestions?
Easiest fish to breed???

Just my opinion, I think guppies are WAY easier to breed than mollies, but again, it's just my opinion! I have never had any other fish (non-livebearers) breed in my tank - but I don't actually try to get them to breed!
Good luck on your project!

Guppies as long as there is more females thank males say two females to one male so the females don't get tierd out, there are by far the easiest.
Platys
I'd add Platys to the list. I've got a community tank with 4, no 5, no wait, 7, platys. And I'm not doing anything to protect the fry.

Since you are doing a school experiment, you will definately want to include Convict Cichlids (as someone else stated). Cichlids are known throughout the fish world to be interesting parents, but Convicts stick out above almost all the rest. They are extremely territorial, so give them room. I wouldn't necessarily put them alone in a tank, since you are doing this to observe the whole process and how it affects things, right? Of coarse this depends on what exactly you are looking for. They are well known for their parenting, regardless of how you slice it!
Just my 2 cents worth but I think that the Rainbow Cichlid is the easiest cichlid to breed. The reason everybody says Convict is because you don't see the 'Herotilapia multispinosa' in stores much any more. Cold water fish: Check out the White Cloud Mountain Minnow; they don't even eat their fry! For catfish, Cories are very easy. Zebra danios are also easy. What other groups are you looking for?

Out in left field...
Guppies are thr easiest fish to breed, since you just put a few in a tank and they spawn on there own, no special water specs are needed.
Im gonna just do breeding for right now but as soon as i get done with this project done im prolly will convert them to it or start breeding betta's or guppys or some other fish
