Are people (individuals, not necessarily research facilities or commercial operations) currently successfully breeding anything other than clowns intentionally?
It seems that the majority of non-clown related posts are along the lines of "hey, I found these, what do you think they are" or "I found xxxxx larva/fry, I'm going to try to raise them". The few posts I have found don't typically make it to the juvinile stage and drop off without much information. (Just stating an observation, not intending to be negative or putting people's experience or attempts down)
I'm thinking about shifting my focus to breeding, but haven't found many posts here (or on the breeding forums) that list what has lead to success or what the stumbling blocks were beyond early stage nutrition or water quality issues.
It is starting to look like I am going to have to spend a lot more time at the local university library scouring research documents. It would be nice to see success with hobbiests and smaller larval species.
Can anybody point me in the direction of breeding resources and writeups of successful breeding? The fish I am interested in breeding tend to be egg layers with very small larve.
