Monday, December 12, 2011 7:12 PM (permalink) 0 Liopropoma rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, confirmed as captive bred!  Posted on December 12th, 2011 by Matt Pedersen  3 Comments   Last time we wrote about Todd Gardner’s success being the first to breed and rear a Liopropoma sp. Reef Basslet, the jury was still out on which species he actually had.  Eggs from both L. rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, and L. carmabi, the Candy Basslet, were being collected and worked with.  Well, we have video confirmation, shot by Christopher Paparo, on the first species.  Shot at 101 days old (they’re 112 days today), we see clear proof that Liopropoma rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, has been undeniably reared by Garnder at the Long Island Aquarium.  Now we just wait to see if Todd and his friends release any tiny Candy Bass videos too, and there IS hope!  A few smaller fish have yet to reveal their full juvenile coloration.     http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #1 rgrking Total Posts : 712 Scores: 22 Reward points : 446 Joined: 4/8/2011 Location: Sullivan, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Liopropoma rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, confirmed as captive bred!

Todd has both species in the same tank so he's not sure what the offspring would be. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #5 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Liopropoma rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, confirmed as captive bred!

Yes, I'm aware.  I was just thinking that one specie would possibly be easier to raise than the other so would be possible that he is only successful with one specie at this point.  It is possible that his carmabi are part of the ones that are being lost earlier on.   #6 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Liopropoma rubre, the Swissguard Basslet, confirmed as captive bred!
