Ocellaris are the easiest to breed and the easiest to sell.

Ocellaris. Easier to breed, and keep breeding (mine are 18 days from clutch to clutch, like clockwork), easier to growout (4-5 months, as opposed to a percula's year) and there is always a demand for them.

Maroon's need space, the young are tough to raise (they get into alot of fights), and the clutches can be large (1000+, I think the record is 8000)

Onyx is a Percula, and the long growout makes it tough.

Tomato's aren't that bad, but care for the fry is more difficult then for the ocellaris..

Learn on the ocellaris, then add other broodstock when you get the basics down..
