  • 40 or 70 gallon tank

    I want to t a new tank since I sold my last tank. I have a chest that is in my room that can hold a 40 gallon but I don't know what I can do with such limited gallos. I want to do fresh water, low maintance. Give me some ideas. I know what fish go together and what fish will go into the tank size but what are some odd ball interesting stocking ideas! I was thinking about doing a maleri breeder tank. I want to breed fish and sell. What would be a good pair that people will buy? That can go into a 40.

      i would think that breeding any oddball would result in something good to sell. these are hard times so its not easy to say. i would say try truffles for just capitol gain. i lol'ed. maybe some of the less common betta or gourami species?

        I'd steer away from bettas. I've heard the fry grow extremely slow. If you want to breed anything for profit, keep in mind of prices you see in a LFS, difficulty of breeding, what the fish require (pairs or harems), aggressiveness, how fast the fry grow, demand for the fish (watch the market section and you could get a good idea of what most people want), and the list goes on.

        For me, it all comes down to what I would want to keep since I'll be taking care of them and watching them. I wouldn't want a fish that I don't like.

            You could go with discus but they require a lot of attention maybe angels or rams

              I wouldn't recommend discus if you're not very experienced in the hobby. Also rams would do better with a harem to keep aggressiveness in check. Try walking around a couple LFS and look at what stock they have. If you like the fish, go home and research them. If you decide you want to buy them, good luck!

                Fish Gallery has some galaxy rasboras that stay small and are very pretty that you could resell.

                        Lets see? what to breed just for capital gain? You could Try Class N Endlers. they push out babys every 24 days or so. If you can give the documentation. they can sale pretty high price.
                        You could try King Callipterus. I don't know anyone that breeds this and they are one of my fav.s

                            Not really, the fry require certain food that must be cultivated. I've seen some people do it but not many...
