Which in your opinion is easier to breed and is a better overall in a species aquarium, and is fun to watch. Main thing though is easy to breed, thats what I want but what do you think?
Kribs or Comvicts

I've never had kribs, so I can't say how easy they breed, but as far as personal preference I like how the cons look more. Though if you're going to keep multiple pairs (how big is the tank?) I'd go with kribs over cons, because of the aggression issues, a breeding pair of cons will get extremely aggressive.

Cons and kribs breed just as easy in my opinion. With cons though fry will have little value if u plan on breeding for profit. The kribs will be more profitable. I have a breeding pair of both , my cons breed usually every 4-5 weeks depending how long i leave the fry in. And the kribs still have their last batch with them and its been over 2 weeks. They both are pretty simple in my opinion . My kribs bred the day after i got them. and my cons are 3 years old and have had ALOT of babies.
PS kribs get much prettier breeding colors.

Convicts breed very easily, however, they can be very aggressive. When I was a kid, my dad helped me set up a tank just so I could see them breed, and breed they did! As mentioned, you may have a problem getting rid of the offspring and hey do not make good community fish. Kribs, on the other hand, make nice community fish if given appropriate tank mates. I have also had success breeding them. A slight bit more challenging, but still quite easy. The Kribs should not be difficult to get rid of, are quite gorgeous-especially when breeding. My suggestion is the Kribs!
