For those of you who did not make the meeting last night, you missed a great opportunity to discuss breeding marine fish with one of the top breeders in the country. Tal's presentation was very informative and he presented the topic in terms anyone could understand. Hopefully it will invigorate the attendees to attempt even a small breeding project some time in the future.
As a reminder, the ARC has enjoyed a very active community of local members who have had some success in breeding marine tropicals over the past few years.
This forum, BREEDERS CORNER, has a wealth of information available from some of our seasoned members, with step by step breeding reports on species such as Bangaii Cardinals, Ocellaris, Gold-stripe Maroon, Darwin (Black and White), Onyx, Snowcassos, and Tomato Clownfish. As well as several more difficult species like Green-banded Gobies, Neon Gobies, Tailspot Blennies, Orchid Dottyback, several species of seahorses, and most recently jawfish. We even have reports of attempts with Harlequin Shrimp, Fire Shrimp and Peppermint Shrimps.
Every one I have ever asked, or who has come to me, has always shared freely of their knowledge and experience.
I encourage everyone to consider the challenge of breeding and raising marine species at home. It does not take a huge investments of money, but a lot of time and patience is definitely required as Tal pointed out!
If you do try something, I also encourage you to post your breeding attempts in this forum as well as considering the MBI site.

I included the link to the sticky with some additional information sources in case you are inclined to look in to this further!

Mine are onxy misbars (not flashy but I love them) and one is definitely becoming dominant over the other.
