	Easiest Fish To Spawn
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Here's a little para-poll, designed to identify some of the easiest fish to spawn from the main fish groups. Which are these fish, in your opinion? I'm just looking for spawning, not breeding. Catfish- Corydoras aeneus Cichlids- Convicts Characins- Lemon tetras Cyprinids- Zebra danios Livebearers- Guppies Labyrinth fish- Blue gouramis These are all based on experience with the fish, or with what I've read. They aren't necessarily the easiest. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I'm not sure what South would be but someone else can deal with that. Riverine Africa - Krib Rift Lake Africa - Multis Those are my votes, anyway. Agree on the others, although I suspect there's an easier labyrinth to be found - something less territorial, perhaps. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

I would counnt breeding as also including the rasing of the fry. but they basically are used for the same thing. I suppose technically spawning is the act of mating. For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
