LOL seems ORA has every spot on the list.... wish I knew some to add.......

oh, my...you really need to consider the members at MOFIB and Reef Steward...there you will find an avalanche of private hobbyists breeding some of the most obscure marine ornamentals you've ever heard of. Just for starters.

I am sorry to ask a stupid question but what is MOFIB and Reef Steward? just out of curiosity???

Lol, they were a good standard for fish that can be bred, so its a good start.

I have spent quite a bit of time on there, it's just awesome. I think breeding fish, anemones etc is so worthwhile, save the reef inhabitants one at a time!
For now I am just sticking to major breeders, I'll see if I can find hobbyists that aren't just trying to get a pair of their fish to breed.

This is the reason for these sort of threads!

Well thank you bryan for posting this thread. I will be tagging along to see where it goes and see what other cool things come up!:bigsmile:

+100 for MOFIB. I have spent alot of time on there, even if you are not planning on breeding and growing out fry, you can learn a ton of information about different species of fish, shrimp and other animals that translates to how you might care for them in your system. Definately worth a visit and some lurking.

I am particularly interested in the Mandarin Gobies, and followed the competition they held to successfully breed them that eventually was shared with ORA to start their breeding program. I am fairly sure I have that right. It was pretty cool either way.

I tried to go to reef steward's site, but its under construction.

I cant get on the reef steward site. There are a ton of people breeding clowns and other fish I have no idea how your going to name them all.

You should also include the MBI (Marine Breeding Initiative) as a reference. The site address is MBI - Marine Breeding Initiative. Lots of good stuff on there for captive breeding.
