Just pondering an idea...

I've seen a few hybrid centropyge angels recently, and got to thinking - I wonder if a green mandarin dragonet (sychiroptopus splendidus) and a target dragonet (Sychiroptopus picturatus, I think) might hybridize, and what the babies might look like. Sound like an experiment worth trying?

WOW. Now thats something to ponder. Tough enough to get em to eat, but breed. Nice!! Love to see the write up on that.

Good question

I don't think it's impossible tho. I have mandarins in my tank that find there own food. They don't eat what I feed the tank...

They do mate as well once a month the female gets really fat and a few days later so skinny I think she might die. And I've seen them do there mating dance so amazing... I think I will try to get a male and female of the 2 different types and see what happens

I might just have to give it a shot...
I've never taken care of eggs, though :/
Suppose I could learn how :)

IIRC it's been done before.

Ah.
If it has, I haven't seen it.

Can't find the vid, but there have been pairs but no babies from what I know.... I would go for it if I had the resources!
