There's been a big demand lately for Banggai because they are about to be listed on the "Threatened" list from what I understand. Most of the store owners I talk to say that often all of the Wild Caught Banggai they receive die withing a couple of weeks for some unknown reason so now they only buy from me.
Ocellaris Clownfish seem to have a pretty good market too.
I have not yet been able to keep the Mandarins alive more than 5 or 6 days so I don't have an issue with trying to sell them.

I think I lose a little bit of money on the Banggai. I think that's why very few commercial breeders exist for them. The corals, sand, pods, etc. that I sell more than make up for any loss with the Banggai though. Healthy Banggai require healthy food and it gets expensive.
If I can do better with the Clownfish they should do well for me though. They are less expensive to feed, they have more eggs and they spawn more often.

May have been asked and answered before, Bang, but what DO you feed your Clowns?

OK Cute fishies as you know. Now that we got all the formalities outa the way, I gotta know...
WHAT KINDA CAMERA ARE YOU USING???
I can see that the eggs would fit INSIDE of the year on the coin. That's mighty fine photography!!!
