Question. Does only newly aquired specimens count or can one use work that is allready in progress?

Not really asking for myself just some general clarification.

Personally until very recently I was breeding Synchiropus Splendidus. I had very good luck with getting the offspring to about 200 hours post spawn but I would always loose them mainly to rotifer crashes. Unfortunatly I lost my breeding pair in a act of human error/stupidity. I was collecting a spawn and decided to leave the pumps off to feed the coral. I ended up falling asleep on the couch and woke up to complete devistation.

Obviously this is past work so Im not asking to use it I just wanted clarification for the rest of those that may be working with a species.

Any comments on the difficulty scale of each?

I'm planning on seahorse; likely erectus, but I'm not sure yet; and black foot trochus. I have not planned out the system yet though.

For the MASM Breeding Initiative's first Breeder's Challenge we aren't going to be real picky on what to breed. Below is a list of suggested species to work with. If you'd like to work with a species that is not on the list, feel free to do so!

All we ask is that you start a thread in the "Breeding Journal" forum to document your progress.

Suggested Species:

Clownfishes - Subfamily Amphiprioninae
Dottybacks - Family Pseudochromidae
Cardinalfishes - Family Apogonidae
Gobies - Family Gobiidae
Jawfish - Family Opistognathidae
Seahorses - Family Syngnathidae
Peppermint & Cleaner Shrimps - Genus Lysmata

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Happy breeding!
