Please notice that I didn't say speculation was wrong (as you say, can be a good thing, and as a researcher I hope that you understand why (notice my occupation as well...)), but that speculation that could be misinterpreted as fact was probably a bad thing (you wouldn't publish in a peer-reviewed journal (or here I should hope) anything as "fact" until you had something to back it up). Sharing of ideas and experiences is what makes this website great, but we should make sure to qualify our statements so as not to misinform.

Interesting thread started by JHardman on why we won't be seeing "designer" clownfish and clowns developed through artificial selection anytime soon:

I'm surprised that you didn't find any information on the boards since you asked this question a while back:

BUT...there have been some new pairings and juvenile pictures shared.

Links to hybrid clown information you requested:

frenatus x ocellaris: http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...ghlight=hybrid

frenatus x melanopus (no pictures in this thread, but a friend and I will be sharing some of our own baby pictures when they are old enough
