Yes, I would really really encourage people to wait for pictures.
Don't start counting the money.
Even in the exceedingly unlikely event that this is true...they wouldn't be easy to raise (even clownfish are not the easiest to raise).

Certain dwarf angels have been bred captively but to my knowledge, none of the larger specimens have been succesfully aquacultured. To have it happen in a home tank would be nothing short of amazing to the large brreding installations that are now attempting the larger species. Again, the proof will be in the pictures. My sense is that even if it is true, the fry will not survive. One of the problems in captive breeding is the lack of adequate food to sustain them in the early stages. I'd be interested in hearing what they are eating. Also, even if they die, post some pictures.

Just a quick search online seems to indicate that this species does not form some "nest" area as described (or as seen in things like clowns) but releases eggs/sperm into the water column after displaying fairly characteristic courtship behavior...just doesn't seem like this behavior is any way related (again, I would like to see the tank even showing these two fish...because yes, I am suspicious).

Yup. The breeding/spawning behavior described is in consistant with the fishes natural mating habits.
Hmmm..... :thinking:
