TheClark Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Another captive bred win on a tough to keep fish! http://aquanerd.com/2016/12/quality-marine-receives-the-first-captive-bred-hawaiian-cleaner-wrasses-labroides-phthirophagus.html Exciting stuff, I would love one of these again some day as my first never made it. Excellent picture of them in the wild from this site: http://www.marinelifephotography.com/fishes/wrasses/labroides-phthirophagus.htm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Don't be surprised if you see them at cuttlefish soon I thought of Jeff immediately. I love that he tries to bring in as many captive bred fish as he can ! The less we can take from the ocean the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Don't be surprised if you see them at cuttlefish soon I love that Jeff is committed to this as I think it represents the long term sustainability of the hobby. Exciting that so many species are showing up now and it sounds like they are working on many more. Awesome to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroose_Le Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 So cool, love to see more progress in captive breeding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramey Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 If I believe it correctly these are not truly captive bred. What i mean is the eggs were collected from a reef and hatched in captivity. They will be more likely to survive in your aquarium though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
