Which to breed

[1.0reef]

I might get a BC14 and want a pair of fish to breed in it, my choices are...

Banggai cardinalfish

or

B/W or Picasso clownfish.

Thanks

Go with the cardinals. They're the ones going extinct. Plus no larval stage

 

Another reason to breed cardinals. They have sparkles. B!tches love sparkles.

I say go for cardinals. Already so many people breeding clowns.

Cardinals are fun to breed and really cool to watch them hold the babies in there mouths and them spit them out when they are ready, Plus the babies eat brine when they come out so no special equipment needed

I'm just partial to clowns lol. Everybody else made great points though.

I have a pair of cardinals i am working with in a 29 (no luck yet). Is 14g enough room for them though?

I switch my vote to cardinals actually... That's something different and unusual. Plus, it may actually be easier, and that is a species that REALLY needs to be captively bred by hobbyists. This species is becoming endangered in the small part of the oceans where they are found. Find a pair (preferably captive bred) and get to making babies!!

Thanks for the replays, I want the pair on DD. I think a 14 gallon BC is large enough, I mean people keep pairs of clownfish in them.

+1 picasso clownfish

 

breed em and make all your money back no prob

 

plus their husbandry is very well documented making it easier/more reliable

 

 

 

 

...also you get that sense of mystery on what patterns the offspring will have!
