Who is breeding marine fish right now?

[roshi719]

I'm getting ready to start my own breeding program, and am wondering who all on this forum currently breeds fish. I would like to start sharing information with as many different breeders as possible so that we can all have better success. I am going to be starting with Bangaii's as they are one of the easier species to rear, and being as they are endangered I want to try and provide people with another option to wild caught of this species.

how's that? just if they fight or not?

i don't breed them, i let them do that on their own :tongue:

seriously, though. I've got a pair in my dt that reproduce. I've got 10-15 babies in my sump right now.

not the same thing as what you're talking about, though

I have a tank i take care of that has a breeding pair of Bangaii Cardinals. I catch the babies out all the time.

My bangaii is caring his first full term batch now. Should be a couple days before he releases them.

keep in mind that the parents will eat the babies after a short period. papa hasn't eaten in 21 days, and he's lookin to make up for lost time

I'm moving in that direction, but I need to build a rack for my broodstock system before I can fill it with water and put my fish in it Here's what I've got thus far:
-2 picasso pairs
-snowflake pair
-black ocellaris pair
-Rod's onyx pair

I'd like to add:
-neon goby pair
-blenny pair of some sort
-tiger goby pair
-maybe some grammas or dottybacks\

And someday:
-RCT interruptus pair (but they'll be in my display tank)

 

[mltascp]

How did you get the pair of Rod's onyx? I want a pair but don't know how to order them from him.

Thanks,
Monica

I got them from a LFS that ordered right before he stopped selling.
