Breeding Options with Limited Space

[a date with nature]

i have been in the hobby for about 3 years. get super geeky over anything fish whether fresh or saltwater, and have always wanted more tanks. however, i am stuck with a crappy fluval chi five gallon aquarium. lately have been getting very discouraged with the aquarium hobby, but i am looking to get myself excited again, have read and listened and watched so many things about breeding fish and shrimp, and always thought that looked so fun to do. so, what suggestions do you have?

with limited space, id give shrimp a try. a ton of them fit in small spaces.

You could look into the many varieties of killifish.

I agree with lefty O and streetwise, shrimp  are fun, easy and interesting.  Cherry shrimp seem to breed without any effort on my part.  If your tank is new, and missing all those things streetwise listed, try adding a couple pieces of cholla wood and a rock pile as well as live plants - they provide hiding spaces, and Nano Banquet Food Blocks provides food until the tank provides is well established.  I also find my shrimp love Repashy as a powder, ACO fry food, and floating plants for the food they carry.

Good luck and have fun.
