    Have you EVER kept saltwater fish before?
    Theres more to breeding saltwater fish than just sticking 2 together like freshwater

    But I would say the EASIEST are going to be Banghai cardinals because they are mouthbrooders and the young are fairly large when they are spit out which makes feeding the babies MUCH easier than say clownfish where you also need to grow the initial food for feedings as well as the fact that clowns have many larval and meta stages that cardinals dont

    If you want a real challenge then raise seahorses.
    Benthic fry like erectus are easier than pelagic fry like reidi.
