Beginner fish to breed?

[LukeSivyer45]

I was looking in my LFS and noticed that the only captive bred fish they sell is banggai cardinals, i would like to be more sustainable in this hobby. I only have a 10 gallon with a pair of clowns and a 20 gallon but does anyone know of a beginner fish i could breed in that size of tank?

Guppies are easy. Fresh water and some food is all they really need.

They can go in saltwater right?

I would suggest mollies and you can accumulate them to saltwater also

From the saltwater side of things the easiest to breed seems to be clowns and banggai cardinals (based on how many people breed them and how much information is available on breeding the clowns), but, as I understand it, most freshwater fish are easier to breed.

Breeding certain fish is not that hard. It is a matter of good feeding and reasonably happy fish. The problem comes with raising the tiny fry (baby fish) to a size that the LFS will sell. Fry need to be kept safe and they need a succession of foods as they grow. It is a tad bit tricky.

But surely there are easier fish that can be bred/ raised then others?
