Information on Mandarin breeding?

[splendidus]

Where can I find information on breeding Mandarin fish? I have done several searches and have found nothing. I would like to know how others have done.

Hi,

Hate to tell you but they do not breed in capivity, Seen many nice pairs but no one has done it. Males have very large high fin tips.

Well all I can say is that if everyone gives up on trying that would be dumb.. There are many things that affect breeding... One maybe successfull at breeding clowns while another cannot for the life of him... I say that If you have a pair of any fish Read everything you can find about breeding that particular fish.. If they happen to breed then you are prepared... If it wasnt for people trying then there would be many things in the SW environment that we would know nothing about..

FWIW i have heard reports that they often breed in captivity its just that no one has found a way to raise the larvae yet, so maybe you could be the one
