    My Discus lay now and then, but nothing becomes of the eggs,
    They usually end up being eaten in a matter of hours - community tank.

    You wont make money out of breeding fish...best case scenario...it pays your electricity bill. So if you want to breed to make money...not gonna happen.

    Most people breed coz the like the challenge and the sense of accomplishment you get from successfully getting this or that species to breed.
