Breed the tiger barbs.

HTML doesn't work.

Oh and don't get tiny schools of like three. Cut back on others and get 6 of schooling fish or don't get the schooling fish. Just my advice though.

If you are looking at fish that are easily bred, go with livebearers.

I would suggest that you either get a few guppies or some platys (my favorites).

Nevertheless, wait with any of them until all issues from your Other Post are cleared.

Live bearers are easy to breed & i would start with them.

ur 1st option...it will work..except that the guppies will overrun ur tank in due time...although, there r danios in there that will love the new fry...so provide plenty of floating plants or java moss, otherwise, move the expecting mom to a separate tank to give birth. while the 2nd option, will do too except for the shrimp...IME...TB's beat the hell out of the shrimp...so...i rather stay wit TBs and otto. other options u have...like gold barb (not so for breeding though), platies, and so on.

I've bred guppies before, if you have a heavy planted tank you shouldnt worry about sperating you should still get some that live... guppies are fun but kinda of a wimp fish lol.....
