<p>Your right, if your going to breed ornamental cichids you need to get several tanks, one for each breeding pair. These fish tend to get vicious when defending their breeding ground. You would also need multiple tanks for raising the fry to marketable size as you would need to keep separate batches separate.Even within one spawning you may find that the runts get cannibalized. I would suggest you tackle one species first, as I would expect one prolific pair needing several large tanks for growing all the fry to marketable size. Also, you may want to consider your choice of species. The ones you mention have a limited market due to their aggressive nature. If you start producing large quantities of fish you'll need a market for them as well.</p>
