Too bad this doesn't allow for mutliple choices ... okay, so far three species of shellies (the others are in a mixed tank, so I've included fry-eaters to preclude hybrid issues), plus a couple of Apisto species and of course the ol' Krib (although at the time I thought they were P. taeniatus "Wouri," since the seller lied to me) in the past.
Others, past and present: lots and lots and lots of bettas (argh, *never* going back to that), the "Clown Killie" (P. annulatus), the Lyretail killie (A. australe "chocolate", the big four livebearers plus Endler's, goldfish, WCMMs, Danios, Cories (trilineatus, aeneas, and arcuatus), BNs, GloFish and of course Clown Loaches. Okay, joking on that last one ... I do feel like I'm leaving something out, but whatever.

I have a few Guppies along with other fish in the tank, so i'm not sure what the outcome will be.

I breed Guppies and Platys,
and my Buenos Aires Tetra pair have spawned once, as well as my white clouds and my leopard danios, with no successful fry. My female weather loach is currently pregnant, and my bala pair do mating dances, so far no eggs though.
I would like to breed dwarf gouramis, but I cannot find any females.

So far:

Red Terrors (Amphilophus festae)--with new-born fry
Thorichthys maculipinnis (?)--with eggs
Honduran Red Point convicts (Archocentrus sp.)--with eggs

and last but not least *drumroll* Convicts. I know, I know it's hard to believe that these can reproduce in captivity. I'm working on a detailed article on the extensive research and preparation I went through to get these guys to breed. I still have some calculations to do as far as the steps I took to assure the proper water chemistry for them. So, be patient and hopefully soon we'll get a few more people breeding these elusive fishes

in the past:
auratus
kenyi
convicts
kribs
peacocks
and a few other cichlids

I am now attempting German Blue rams but while they seem healthy and happy, no babies yet.

Auratus were very prolific, and very violent.

Convicts were prolific, but more protective than outright violent.

I have platies in my 29g but I no longer try to rescue the fry. I do have one about 2 months old.

I breed Endler's in a 10g. There are 7 adults and quite a few older fry in that tank. The younger fry are in a 5g grow out tank.

I have a pair of kribs that are just now starting to get along after being together for months, I hope to someday get fry from them.

I currently don't breed... but I assume when my guppies mature, I'll have fry, anyway. I'd love to breed my bettas, but I just don't have the room for it.
