Conventional wisdom says that it's the convict cichlid.

I have bred both angelfish and convicts without even trying.

The Guppy award goes to: *opens envelope*
from the African lakes: Brichardi
from the African rivers: Kribensis
from South America: Angelfish, Acaras and Apistos (depending on your
luck)
from Central America: Convict cichlid
from North America: Rainbow cichlid
from Asia: I'd be hesitant to recommend an easy breeder, (and I'm not
going to consider Blood Parrots or Flowerhorns as Asian).... but once you
get a Mozambique mouthbreeder to breed, you will have no shortage of fry
;~)

I hope I got my Central & North division right, though if I didn't
someone will correct me ;~)

Well, you did miss the Asian classification. Mozambique is hardly an
Asian coutry. The only cichlids I know that exist in Asia are the
Etropolus kind better known as chromids !

Well I couldn't list a brackish water chromide as easy to breed ;~) , and
besides, naming does not automatically indicate the only area a fish
occupies, only its origin of discovery. For example, the Monodactylidae
have a variety of names, and are claimed to be indigenous by more than
one country. Fish which move between Australia and Africa and/or along
the coast under India could be considered Asian.

I don't know if the Mozambique mouthbreeder fits this description, (I'm
only guessing) but if it crossed the sal****er straits to reach
Mozambique, there's a good possibility ;~)
