Marketable species

What do people think are the most marketable species?

I have a couple of points here....

Clowns... easy to breed (comparatively) , easy to raise (comparatively) but people can only really have two in a tank??
Also cheap..... Again comparatively!

Shrimp... easier to spawn, Harder to raise ( unless you are Luis) but people can purchase 6 to 8 to put in their tank?? so maybe more marketable to LFS? but still cheap.

Or Matts mandarins .... Hard to spawn, damn near impossible (at least 15 pages on the forum) to raise but worth millions....... Comparatively. Although to a limited market?.... probably again two per tank... but at a million a fish .. well who can afford them?

Other species........ Um... feel free to elaborate on spawning easy, raising easy and selling price??

Point is.... do you go for easy and cheap or more difficult for maybe a few extra dollars?
