Helfrichi Firefish (Nemateleotris helfrichi)

Hi folks,

Need to find out some information on breeding these or any of the dart families.

Has any done this before?

Thanks

there are a few ppl around that have spawned the other 2 spp, but it seems that for the most part, these happened accidently..i'm getting ready to give it a try..picking up the fish next weekend

I bet they cost an arm and a leg in the UK? I think I have a link around some place that might be of help to you Steve. If and when I do find it, I'll cross post here and on www.marinebreeder.org
