Calling all fish breeders...
I am trying to create a list of all the fish and mobile invertebrates that are available captive-bred. You can see the list here. I would like it if you could tell me the names of any fish that are not listed, but are bred in captivity, with successful larva rearing. I do not really want a list of everything in the Breeder's Registry, since it contains some things that you have very little hope of actually getting captive-bred. I would rather that you only listed fish that someone could reasonably get.
Thanks, Trumpet12 |

Define "only listed fish that someone could reasonably get" please. Many species have been done, but have been dropped from production for any various reasons. Others can and have been done, but the costs of rearing can presently never compete with WC (ex. non-clown damsels).

You can add A. tricinctus to the clown list.
A. akalopsis, A. akindynos, A. chryspoterus and A. nigripes have all been availible in the past. Oh, and don't forget the often over looked poorer cousin of the GSM. The plain old White Stripe Maroon. And speaking of varients... what about Black ocellaris, Onyx percula, SI percula, Coral Sea melanopus or New Caledonia melanopus?

Don't forget that A. polymnus comes in a brown and black variant. The brown is readily available and I don't know of anyone producing the black at this time... Oama feel free to correct me if you guys have them. You can also add Berghia Nudibrants

Is there a reason your not simply using the breeders registry?

"I do not really want a list of everything in the Breeder's Registry, since it contains some things that you have very little hope of actually getting captive-bred. I would rather that you only listed fish that someone could reasonably get."

That's a very hard question, but it is good that it got asked. I guess that I would say that things that are bred on a fairly regular basis count as reasonable to get. Fish that have only been bred once or twice, or that are only 20 or so available each year do not count. Do you think that this is the right way to think about it? Quote:

FishinAggie03, I will wait for you to wake up and get the whole list. Also, it would be great if everyone would start posting on the thread that lists the species. JohnL is going to update the list occasionally, based on what is posted there, so if you start posting there, I will not have to move everything. Thanks, Trumpet12 |

If anyone can tell me where to find the CB mandarinfish that rsman mentioned, I would really like that.

those fit into the "20 a year" category and are not often available.

How about posting the locations of where they can be obtained? This will support the breeders as well as make it easier for the rest of us to obtain them.

the big problem I see is commercial posts are not allowed,
I would hate to be kicked off rc by saying I have X for sale and how exactly would we seperate ME from trying to sell X from some dumb fishseller that sees a slight change in the rules and decides to post 10,000,000 posts saying you can find fish X over there >>> pointing to himself. though I dont have the answer I only see a potential problem. another thing is a few of the fish places I sell to would probibly(99% sure) not be happy if I said that I sell them my X fish, as it makes a private sale more public and they wouldnt wanna be liable or lose business when/if(more when) I do something stupid.

JohnL approved the idea, although we would have to check with him again before doing anything radical. If any breeders did not want to be listed, that would obviously need to be respected.

Since man910 proposed this, I am hoping that he will explain his idea a bit more. |

IF we are still trying to figure out what the deal really is going to be, a seperation between mass producing and once in a blue moon might be good, yet list both! to be more specific I have ocallaris fry every couple of weeks yet dont have others but a few times a year. at least I think id wanna be on the list somehow maybee(maybe not, id like to run it up a flagpole and see which places I supply to shoot me ) , but id hate to have ppl begging daily asking when ill have a "flying purple people eater" when I only sell a handful a year. and do we publically list the store or just the breeder? as I myself am not really interested in selling retail, id rather sell to a retail business.
so many problems so little solutions

The term "Seasonally Availible" comes to mind for species that are not always in large/continous production.

Seriously, we could put a note by each species that says whether it is regularly available in large numbers, rarely available in small numbers, or whatever. |
