this is my hobbyhorse! i hear of successful breeders of various fish and it is quoted as fact! when in fact fish have accidentally spawned in a tank. fish breeding in my opinion is when a person can recreate or place fish in a specific enviroment for purposes of breeding. having done this,encourage fishes to pair , spawn and for the breeder to successfully raise the young to adulthood or thereabouts. i heard of a guy in the states who is spoken of in breeding circles as a person who has bred mandarins. i contacted him and he told me he hasnt kept any larvae past ten days. yet the urban legends live on. if you have successfully bred any specific species based on intention to do so please put your name down with the specific species that you have bred and the amount of young adult fish you have produced. ( i can if i want to , does not count. and neither does watching fish spawn in your tank. (yes i am grumpy)
