Many seemed to think the fish are ugly & expensive. I think they’re a great looking clown and given the history of the fish it’s no surprise they cost what they do. Perhaps the cost will begin to decline now that one of the pairs has spawned in LiveAquaria’s facility!

I do wish we heard more about successes with fish other than clowns, pseudochromis, the rare goby and cardinalfish, but I guess it's a process (and an incredibly difficult one) and you have to start with what works. Okay, I almost want to delete that previous statement because I don't want to take anything at all away from the success of breeding any marine fish. It's spectacular and a great step forward. I strongly urge any aquarists (especially new ones) to spend the extra couple dollars for tank/captive bred marine creatures, be they fish or inverts. You will not be disappointed and you really are doing a good thing by supporting captive propagation. Congratulations to Kevin and Live Aquaria! This is absolutely fantastic to hear.
