Red Sea Mimic Blenny

[Janetsplanet]

No idea where to put this post, so here goes...

Any idea if ORA still breeds the Red Sea Mimic Blenny? This fish has been "out of stock" or unavailable at the LFS, as well as seemingly all online retailers, for months!

Are these still available? Any info is helpful. I want one... so... badly, but I don't want to hold my breath for too long if they're no longer available in the hobby.

Sorry for not being clear. It doesn't necessarily need to be captive bred. The only info I find on the internet is regarding the breeding by ORA several years back, very little otherwise.

Are they even still collected?

I spoke with ORA about this recently. Apparently, they may not very easy to breed successfully, and thy haven't had any in a while. They told me to check back in 6 months. I wasn't very optimistic about the possiblity of getting one anytime soon after the conversaition

I was at Macna and they had the guys who breed clown fish and dottybacks and they have a Red Sea Mimic "Mimic" I was trying to buy one but they were all spoken for.

I'll try to hold out, but something tells me I wouldn't be very high on the "list" despite my LFSs all on the lookout for me. Also I tried emailing the ORA sale's office, and got a bounce back on my email as undeliverable.

I may end up with a different type of blenny if these are really that difficult to find/get.

Thanks for the insights!
