I was getting bored with the fish I am breeding so, I wanted to see If you have any EASY fish to sell me!

Endler's Livebearers are way easy.

Any of the Poeciliopsis, most of the Xiphophorines, and most of the Poecilia and Limia are easy breeders. Red tail goodeids are also a choice of ease.

Ameca splendens bred for me just fine. They weren't good community fish tho. the males were rather nippy and territorial.

Ameca do well with cichlids, and great in ponds. They work really well outside and will produce a lot of young with natural foods.

They were especially easy that way.

I picked up some Ameca splendens at the convention. I just can't get mine to breed does anyone know of any triggers?

P.S Are killies easy to breed?

Feed 'em, give them water changes. A week is not enough time to see if they breed. Give them some time, and you'll probably have something within 45-60 days. If they're happy, they'll breed. Don't keep them too warm, either, nor feed them rich foods...

Alex, you need to be a bit patient.The Amecas are probably already breeding without you noticing it. If you have mature, over 2 inches, Amecas, ask again about breeding in about 2 months if you have yet to see fry. I find Amecas to be "just add water" fish but they are a delight in my tank. To ensure they are in good breeding condition they need to be big enough, the ones I saw at the convention were a bit small, and it helps to condition them on foods high in vegetable matter. Before they fell out of favor in the fish trade, they were sold as algae eaters.

the biggest thing with Livebearing fish is patience.. Water changes... And good food... In time you should have babies... Killies are the same way but with them you need soft water and live food for them to be at their best... Chiclids need for the most part bigger tanks yes I know about the shell dwellers and can use smaller tanks... and it depends on where the chilids come from what kind of water they need hard soft or somewhere inbetween and what to feed them I could go on and on but Alex I hope the biggest thing you learn is to be Patient remember ROME was not built in a day...

I need to learn to be patient! I have actually never seen fish breed. My Ameca spendens are a little small. Does anyone know of good Ameca splendens food?
