Hello forum,

I am new to this forum but have had aquariums for about ten years now. However, my fish have been limited to guppies, mollies, small barbs, catfish, shrimp, and my newest adventure, marbled crayfish. However, I have been feeling the need to expand a little. I have dedicated space and equipment for a 29 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. I would like to include 2-3 of the marbled crayfish (smaller ones, don't mind if they get eaten) in the 29 gallon, along with breed-able fish. I will use the 10 gallon to hold fry and/or lay eggs.

Now, I'm not going to run out and buy the first fish someones suggests and try to breed them. I have the tanks establishing now and will do my research. I was just wondering if you all could nudge me in the right directions with some fish that you think will be a good fit for a 29 gallon and relatively easy to breed or a good starter. Would like to expand beyond live bearers. Cooler the better :cool:.

Thanks,
Hank

Hmm would they have been bigger or smaller victims or were they incompatible just in-general danios in general are very peaceful also if this is a bit worrying try zebra danios they are about the same size of guppies also try the variant zebras they are even bred to look like giants and other danios

Good and Easy Breeders

I am new to this site but have experience with Guppies,Platies, and Mollies and a few other fish.
The ones i mentioned are live bearers they are Easy to breed and easy to care for babies:-D , i currently have -
3 - Platies
4 - Mollies
7 - Guppy
That have Breed recently.

If i were to choose a species of Live bearer, i would go with Mollies! They are hardy, colorful fish,calm fish
i would get the rite amount 2-3 females to 1 male.
Good Luck:-D
