I wasn't really sure where to put this, so I decided to put it in 'advanced captive care'. This is purely to satisfy my curiosity, but can people try to list off fish which can be kept in a breeding colony setup in a 30 gallon?

Are you wanting to do only one species, or mix several species together?

By 'colony tank', I mean only a single species of fish in the tank.

Here's my list.

Heterandria formosa (wild type and gold color morph)
Gambusia affinis, holbrooki
Elassoma gilberti, okefenokee, zonatum, evergladei
Leptolucania ommata

The problem is that you narrowed it down to 1 30 gallon tank. If you had 3 10 gallon tanks you could include a lot of darters and shiners, too, as you rotate them from tank to tank so they don't eat their own young. Here is a post on breeding lucania goodei in that manner: http://forum.nanfa.o...lucania-goodei/ (see post #5 for a tank setup picture)
