Like rabbits lol but I really like the red bellies on females when breeding and the blue in the fins

I think The easiest cichlid to breed is convicts. Not going to lie if you know you have a male or female of any Central American they'll end up breeding lol

Flowerhorn are very easy to breed but to keep the male and female not dead is another thing. The male will kill female most of the time

Bushynose plecos
they're aren't extremely difficult, however breeding them does take some effort and patients
personally I think they'd be a really neat fish to breed

Although flowerhorn are easy to breed they often have fertility issues.
I breed Flowerhorn I tend to disagree due to my
Own experiences. Most females are fertile and most or all strains of ZZ are good to go. Kamfas are the hit or miss and Thai silk males are finicky as well.

If you have a red eye Flowerhorn your usually golden and the white eye Kamfa are more desired and harder to achieve
