Matt,
I was just thinking about starting to give breeding marine fish a shot. Currently it seems everyone is breeding clowns which is a good thing of course. Bangaiis I imagine are very easy to spawn. I just started thining about spawning the neon blue gobies, Elacatinus oceanops. Shrimp in the genus Lysmata would be worth a try as well. The cleaner shrimp L. amboinensis seem to have eggs most of the time. I used to raise freshwater species when I was in my early teens as well as culturing live foods. Its really more time consuming than anything. Don't worry about inbreeding the bangaiis yet, the next generation I would cross out to keep up the genetic "code" strong. If you look at discus, angelfish and guppy breeders its disgusting on how many times they will crossbreed their fish. But thankfully some of them will cross wild fish back into the gene pool. But anyways goodluck and keep us all posted and when I decide on what I'm gonna do I'll do the same.
