A lot of people come into the shop looking for angelfish, and one of the key factors in selling most of them is the fact that a lot are locally bred. This is an advantage because we know what we're getting, they've come from quality stock, they're used to the local water conditios and generally are cheaper

If you feel comfortable, talk with store employees about what fish customers ask for that they don't carry. Do research from there...is this particular species easy to breed? is it one that I have space for? can I get started breeding this fish by purashing breed stock online? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They aren't to hard to breed, but you should buy 6 juvis and let them pair up. If I were going to breed a fish that is easy to breed and eay to care for, but still you can make a profit off of. I would probely breed one of the following: -Panda Cories -BN's -Shellies -Brichardi Now I can only speak for what they cost around here.
