so those are mini blenny babies that hatched in your tank?

[ReefKing]

yes they are starry blenny larva. But they didnt hatch in my tank . I artificially incubated the eggs and i have them in a dedicated larval rearing system.

Super cool and great job I was doing some looking online and couldn't find any other information on others doing this species of propagation in personal tanks? Is this something that your passionate about or just did with your pets?

[ReefKing]

extremely passionate! breeding experimental species of marine fish is what we need in this hobby considering the degradation of our natural reefs and the fact that survival rates on wild caught fish are very low . if we want to see our hobby progress i feel its imperative. i have devoted my life and time to this goal

It would be very informative and interesting for this site to have a dedicated area for fish care and breading this starry blenny stuff has really got me thinking of the future of the trade.

thanks buzz ,
i am in the process of compiling my research to add a propagation topic in this forum .
also a disease recognition and treatment protocol topic .
i hope to get them going later in the week .
thanks for the feedback.

A breeders and info for fish care would make this site even better for us we have been thinking lots about getting a pair of clowns and breading them although have read much about once they give eggs its hard to raise the babies! I hope to see a part of this site that is dedicated to fish and breading of them. Keep up the good work
