Do you breed fish? / myLot

Right now I have over 30 aquariums (all freshwater) running and most on central filtration systems. I am building a "fish room" and will have somewhere over 50 tanks running on central filtration systems. I belong to several aquarium clubs so I can bring in grown babies of the fish to breed to these clubs and store around the area. But if I get a fish that is really prolific (such as the Parachromis montaguensis, Red Tiger montaguensis) I will take them to a fish wholesaler that has already offered to take them off of my hands for a sum to be determined. How any tanks do you have and do you breed any fish for sale?

You are very professional. I have a medium size aquarium and I have a few kinds of tropical fish. Now I like to have the tropical fish which can have their babies easily, such as guppies.

Some other fish that are easy to breed and raise are the cichlids especially cichlids like the convict cichlids which will protect the eggs and young and can have broods every 10 days to 2 weeks with up to 200 to 500 eggs each time..

@kepweng I just want to keep it as a hobby that pays for itself plus maybe a little extra. No need for the IRS to get involved.

@oscarbartoni I haven't seen my fish have eggs. I think it is not easy for me to breed these fish.
