What are the basic principles in successful fish breeding?

Answer 1

As bumble bee said, it depends on the species of fish. Some fish prefer great water quality, others poor water quality. I would do some research on the fish you are trying to breed and see what the necessary requirements are. Things such as barometric pressure can even come into play sometimes as in the case of cories. Here is a website that may help you out in relation to the species you are trying to breed.
