Very cool..

So he bred a lightning with just an average maroon? Why not 2 lightnings? Wont that drastically decrease the amount of lightnings in the clutch..?

I believe in all of recorded fish-collecting history, only two have been caught. He had both of them at one point, but one died. He has tried for 2+ years to get his remaining one to get along with and mate with a second clown.

nope... the first pair was auctioned off for twice as much as the 2nd pair, but some random ballin' guy killed them... then they said we're only gonna auction them off to professional breeders and this kat got them... good thing too...

so far only two females were caught... but they gave him a male from the same spot she was caught... hoping that it might have the same genetic make up or heterogeneous for "lightning"...

there hardy... i have cycled tanks with premna clowns... LOL... but the first lightning premna wasn't cared for by a pro... some guy with a ton of cash got it... a collector... so it was his mistake that cost the life of the first lightning clown...

Hey all - I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and support. Keep sending the good vibes towards this project; the entire reef keeping hobby will thank you for the positive thoughts! I hate to pick on you guys (and really, truly, it's not picking) but there was so much misinformation in the past 2 pages I just had to publish a response - http://www.lightning-maroon-clownfish.com/?p=1602

I realize that for the most part, this is simply a case of information going from one person to another, and on and on, until it ends up being completely separated from any basis in reality. Probably not your faults, but there is so much of this happening that it pays once in a while to try to set the record straight back on the blog ;)
