Mr. Fosi Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Do brine shrimp and mysis count? Link to comment
tinyreef Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 orchid and neon dottybacks are also tank-bred now. i thought i heard of some minimal success in yellow tang (probably not commercial qty). i thought berghia nudis are being bred also (calfo?). Link to comment

The Propagator Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ocean rider breeds seahorses : http://www.seahorse.com/Ocean_Rider_Facilities_On_The_Sea/ Here is a list of marine fish that have been and are just beginning to be captive bred ( both comercialy and non comercialy), as well as those that are not. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/AqSciSubWebIndex/orncultart.htm Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 alot of people breed seahorses... thats no big news Link to comment
dreadfish Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 thanks for the speedy responses but what do we know about invert aquaculture...we should use the forums minds combined to answer this:D Link to comment
firefishbrain Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 you forgot nurse sharks, I wouldn't reccomend it, but the Shedd aquarium in chicago did it... not for commercial use of course, peps I think are breedable, the prob is people don't usually have the space or time to provide for inverts, when they are first born a lot of inverts(crusteaceans mostly) are suspended plankton, like the maine lobster is a great example. I suppose if one just had a thing of carbon and a small pump in a 5g and feed rotifers and even smaller sruff and macro algae it could work... Interesting question, now I wanna go find this stuff. awwww yeah... and you people thought I was crazy, BUT I KNEW!!!! That's going on my wish list for x-mas... Link to comment
jeremai Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Astrea, Nassarius, and Cerith snails, as well as Asterina stars and various brittlestars, tend to reproduce of their own volition when they are content. Since they are so abundant in the wild, there is really no need or reward in aquaculturing them; same goes for most mobile inverts. The ones you mentioned - neon gobies, clowns, bangaii cardinals, peppermint shrimps and cleaner shrimps - would all be perfect to try and breed yourself, provided you use the right setup. Ooh, and whats-his-face breeds and sells $1000 Centropyges! Link to comment
tinyreef Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 keep this quiet but i've perfected propagation techniques on glass anemones! really! they're breeding like rabbits! $20/each, and that's "friend prices". Link to comment
