not an expert by any means but probably clown fish

i think it would pretty tough to breed any fish in a tank...cause its such a confined space that the eggs end up being eaten before they can amount to much...i could be wrong though....

Typically you need more than just your tank to successfully raise the offspring. They will "breed" in the tank, but the offspring will likely not survive without being removed.
Clownfish, dottybacks, bangaii cardinalfish are all candidates.

There is an article on the web "propagating the neon goby".

Consider the more constant time and $$$ you will be spending on monitoring the fry and the equipment and setups.
Ive herd Bangaii Cardinals are easier to breed than clownfish. Try and find a book on it before u invest in anything.

I would have to say... sharks are the easiest... jk guys... i would go with clowns if you can afford a seperate place to put the offspring...

If you breed neon gobies, now you gotta give me some..Hehe..

bangaii cardinals are the easiest to get to breed suposedly. And both bangais and neon gobies are easiest to raise because they can feed on baby brine shrimp right as they come out of the egg. you dont have to deal with a rotifer and greenwater mess like you do with clownfish. i would suggest bangaiis.
