    I don't want to buy any more wild caught fish and stress them and the ecosystem out more. I know ORA is one of the leading tank breeders and they breed clowns, dottybacks, cardinals, gobies ,blennies, and seahorses. Does anyone breed any other fish like damsels or angels?

    i wasn't refering to your post lol
    just stating the facts

    i think the reason you don't see alot of damsels being bred is because its not worth it. it takes alot to raise fry and damsels are only worth a couple of dollars.

    I know that the Pygmy Angel has been tank raised, and possibly the Coral Beauty Angel also. Check out MOFIB, they have a pretty good list of Tanks raised species.
