It may happen! Every time I bring it up my boss says, 'Really? Breed Clarkii's? We'll never be able to get rid of them!'. There is a new batch of eggs, but I think it is hatching tonight. I have also been a little busy with growing cuttles and coral spawn ---- ooo I should post that! After the new year I'll prolly have a go with A. leptocanthus at work because we could use more of them. I really want the new system at home set up before I go crazy with stuff. MBI is an addict enabling community!

There are AZA issues with that, though it could be done. What I meant was, at work, there are questions about devoting limited time and resources to breeding animals that are being bred all over the place.
