I have two ruby reds as we speak and they are a pair but a pair of captive breeds would be awesome.

Ora has target mandarins and also I've heard red mandarins but don't see them available often

Time to contact my inside man at ORA after the weekend.

ORA is working on other fish as well. Unrelated, it would be pretty cool if you could snag one of the first yellow tang schools captively bred. I no longer own a yellow tang, but I must admit that a school of yellow tangs is really special. I have a huge mixed "school" of tangs. If I had the space I would have a school of yellows

Put in a word for me! I need some captive raised fish. They seem to be always be out of my gobies.

I also really like dottybacks. I wonder if a large number of them would diffuse aggression as it does in tangs, angels, and other typically aggressive fish. I would bet that it does.

Marc @melev has a few captive bred yellows.

Interesting to find out, maybe some one can chime in on that.

I like Alpha for clowns. They are a new - to us- source for clowns and they have come in healthy and good sized. They have some cool varieties as well. Check out the black lighting Oc. (it looks more like seaweed instead of lighting, but still cool)

I just found this link on the interwebz not sure if this is true this seems like a lot. I also imagine that while maybe these species were bred in captivity, it may have been only once and none are actually available?

The coral reef in TN has a lot of tank raised fish. You can google them on the net

I will do that.
Thanks for the info.
Btw, how's your tank doing?

Doing great now thanks. I bought a frostbite clown fish from them. Has blue on it.

My clowns are from The Coral Reef TN too.

Sustainable Aquatics out of Jefferson City TN is awesome! That's likely where most of the tank bred clowns in LFS in TN came from. I have ordered from them and had a pair shipped, they arrived healthy and hungry. They send you a free sample of their own blend of food, which my pair were eager to gobble down. They sent a followup email to make sure everything arrived safely. They have a ton of color morphs and have lots of WYSIWYG pairs on their website.

I don't work for them and am not getting paid to advertise, just very satisfied with my experience !
