I looked up http://savingnemo.org" rel="nofollow - savingnemo.org and find it very curious. Clownfish breeding and rearing is a difficult and time consuming endeavor. There are individuals and companies already doing it on a large scale. http://SustainableAquatics.com" rel="nofollow - SustainableAquatics.com is one example. In the last few years, one local breeder flooded the market with designer clownfishes which had the negative effect of depressing the market locally. As the first hobbyist in Utah to breed clownfish, in 1999, I would suggest that a school clownfish breeding project is going to be an awful lot of trouble and success will be unlikely without some special help. Over the years I have seen ordinary marine aquariums at schools come and go. This is not going to be ordinary marine aquarium. I wish you all the best. I may be able to provide assistance, that is if you'd like assistance from a local old-timer that will offer frank, honest, money saving advice. I have developed successful methods for making reef aquariums work simply, efficiently and at low cost. Text sent.  Aloha, Mark  808-345-1049

| Sounds like a great program. Most of the clowns sold locally and in the US are tank bread. They are commercially available on a large scale and are not being over collected in the wild. Information on The regal tang is incorrect, they are not 100% ocean caught. They have been tank bread, raised, and sold here in the US. There are also tank raised currently available on the market. Good luck with your program. Let me know if I can help. |
