Johnny the Oranda   Enthusiast Posts: 237 Kudos: 237 Votes: 82 Registered: 01-Mar-2005   | My convicts have a bunch of cute little babies swimming around. And i was just wondering what are some other fish that are easy to breed? Ill take some non-cichlid suggestions too. |

| manborg Hobbyist Posts: 142 Kudos: 125 Votes: 16 Registered: 04-Apr-2005 | I have a pair of kribs that have only been together for 5 days, and they have already laid some eggs in their cave and I am awaiting the newbies... So I would say give the Kribensis cichlid a try. I also have a swordtail that is ready to give birth for the second time in just over a month. Its been great to watch her first batch of fry grow. Keyhole Cichilds are supposed to be wonderful to breed as well. |

pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003 | Just about any of the live bearers are easy to breed. Almost too easy. My White Clouds keep on spawning, but I don't think the male is able to fertilize the eggs  |

| Kelly Hobbyist Posts: 103 Kudos: 48 Votes: 24 Registered: 06-May-2005 | I don't know about the cichlids, but guppies will breed right away if you have males and females. Other livebearers do to I think. |
