If enough pairs were involved you would have a well diverse gene pool with little to no impact on the wild population.
Using wild plankton could ensure they have not the deficiency defects so common with many tank raised.
A part of the so raised juveniles could be released into unoccupied anemones outside the refuge to restore lost population there.
I would think there is still a good market for certified unmixed Darwin "ocellaris".

Especially those raised in the US could be any kind of mix which is why I would never buy those unless they were certified F1 generation of a wild collected pair.

Fantastic thread!! Darwin B&W has always been my favorite of all Clownfish species. Those yellow Fungia had spectacular tentacle extension and amazing coloration that I've never seen on the market. You're so lucky to have that type of stuff so close to you. I'm glad you overcame your personal issues whatever they might have been, and it's great that you have a tank again! I also just recently got back into the hobby after a few years because I had a nice bubble tip decide to explore the powerhead and I was out of town.. That was in early 2014 I believe and I just got a tank again last month so I know your frustration. Thanks for the pictures as well, I'm looking forward to more.

Holy Crap, I finally finished reading this whole thread.

I loved your pictures, and man your dedication to this thread, is amazing.


Hows that Nano coming along? I just started mine up just a few days ago. Look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Nano is sort of coming along. It has been very hot here this year and the Peltier cooler that I was playing with just didn't cut it.

Tank temp got up to over 33 degrees celcius and the corals didn't like it at all.

So I have had to order a refrigerant based chiller.

Had to check but yeah, 9 years this December since you started this thread. Has been a pleasure following along. I still flip through occasionally, quite enjoyable...closest saltwater to me is an 8 hour drive, and closest reef is a plane ticket away lol...

I live vicariously through you!

Lewy,
This thread about 10 years. How have to ocean life change over the last 10 years? Are there still Black Ocellaris and S. gigantea? Curious mind want to know. Thanks.

I also live by the shore here in Corpus Christi. No significant changes here that I can see.

That really sucks. They have hijacked the pictures for money eh?

You can always create a new gmail account and load the photos there. That'll give you a few gigs for photo posting. Re-linking them would be a pain.
