If selecting for the trait means buying a pair, then that can be done too, but it will take time, and I don't believe they've been available long enough to have produced offspring.

Yes, one would have to have some sort of morph to begin with, but from there, the process is straightforward.
I guess I don't find these things all that special. Are clownfish going to be the next discus or bettas or goldfish? I suppose it's inevitable, but I hope not. I would rather see hybrids of two different species.
