    Me too!

    No. ORA was at Global Pet Expo in Orlando. I went to that! It was pretty cool. I rationalized it very quickly. 8)

    Yeah me too!! :)

    This is so cool. I recently bought some ORA fish. I hope there is a domino effect with other fish.

    One thing to keep in mind is that this will not necessarily fix their eating issues... but it will mean that we are not removing mandarins from the ocean, and their chance of survival will probably be a lot better. It's great for the hobby, but the same cautions will probably exist with regards to their eating habits.

    I thought one of the things ORA was going to do was train them to eat frozen foods...?

    My lfs is just a few mils from ORA (and so am I). The workers go in the store sometimes. ORA has already bred them, they’re just waiting for them to get bigger. My LFS is going to have some in about 4 weeks. So it is happening. And I want one ;D
