You need to realize once you flood a area with a species of fish there will no longer be a demand for said species in that area.

I agree.

I say bred something that is hard to find.. not necessarily rare just not as common to come by.

I would agree, with the possible exception of staple fish that appeal to more than just hobbyists but to the general public as well. IMO angelfish and plecos both fall into this category of appealing to hobbyists and your average 10 year old walking into a fish store, as an example.

Yeah i understand. What i'll probably do then is start out with a few species, then change it up a little later and start with something new again! That way i'll still be breeding and getting a little bit of income, while getting more experience with different kinds of fish and learning more about the hobby! Does that sound about right or is there another solution?

Another solution to being addicted to fish, or to spending less money, or both?  ;)

I think you're on the right track.

I tried breeding angel fish but my water is to hard and the parents are stupid and they eat their eggs almost every time.  One good pair could throw lots of fry a month.
