I think it needs to stay right where it is.
Agreed, I don't think anyone is swaying me to move that one anytime soon.

As for tank raised, what of those fish I listed are available tank raised? I've heard of captive reared Sleeper gobies, but have yet to see them offered at the LFS or online. Maybe they're out there but I haven't seen them. Perhaps some of the angels have been sucessfully reared, but again have not seen them for sale nor have I seen any of those specific species. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened, so point me to some links if you think I'm wrong.

Just remembered the Gumdrop gobies being captively raised, anyone with experience, are they proving to acclimate to new surroundings better? I can remember getting 30 or so in at a time and having 10 or so survive of those 30 on a few ocassions before I stopped ordering them for the store I managed. Once established they did fine, but those first few days were crucial.

Thanks,
Ike
