Which cichlids are actually saleable?

With respect, none are worth bothering with if financial gain is your primary consideration. Breeding fish almost always costs more than they are worth (people seem to like to forget about water heating and feed costs), ...

Primary consideration is that they all live together happily ever after, thats why I wanted to know about good mates for the J. transcriptus.

However since they tend to breed like rabbits as soon as they are all happy - the next point comes: what to do with the offspring.

I don't like to breed fish that I cannot sell, cause I am not going to raise them first and then euthanase them (or give them away as feeder fish). I rather not keep fish at all if that is the case. Hence my question.

I am not going to get rich with cichlid kids, thats for sure, however there are cichlids around which cannot give away when they spawn and where every fish shop owner will just take one look into the bucket with the fry and send you on your way ... :)
