Great link! I'm getting some ideas!! would LOVE to try that too

Me too! And he was really detailed in what he did that seemed to work and what didn't work. Interesting that he saw failure when the nitrates were low. I guess they'd breed just fine in my reef then.

OMG that is amazing! what a great photo thread with the microscopy

Thats very cool, if they keep up with that research in a few years most everything should be available as Tank Raised specimens.

WoW! The photo documentation is fantastic!

There is a guy at the NJ shore that has had success breeding them as well. They are a few weeks old and I emailed him and asked if i would be able to get one when they get large enough and sure enough I will be getting a tank bred mandarin in a few months!!! He is even teaching them to eat flakes and pellets and whatnot, though my pod population is anything but scarce.
