    Hey all,

    I'm Brendon. I've kept fish before but had to quit. I'm going to start a new freshwater tank soon and I'm thinking of keeping a species that I can breed. (Just as a hobby.) Any recommendations?

    I have kept and bred geckos and snakes before. That was cool, but quite expensive and time consuming.

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Brendon

    It's a 3ft tank Robin. I should also mention that I used to own a pet shop for a short while in 2010.

    Robin, it was quite small shop and it was paying for itself but not paying me. I was working and running the shop and it was quite difficult to find someone else to run it properly.

    Ah man i know what you mean. I cant suggest what fish to stock as every one has different tastes. Best advise i heard was setup a comunity tank and you can see what you like keep

    Thanks Robin, when I used to keep fish before...I bred Daffodils, kribs and a whole lot of live bearers..which I guess don't really count.

    Somebody once gave me some (unmentionables)which multiplied like crazy, but I don't have them anymore.
