datnoid breeding

I'd kill for this to actually happen. It really really hurts me that these fish (really some of my favorite in the hobby, if not my favorites overall) will soon be extinct. There has GOT to be a way to get them to breed, like even if it involves artificial insemination or something.

It just amazes me that over in Asia where they create all of these potential fad fish like short body this and hybrid of this and that yet they haven't been able to breed pulchers with any regularity.

Regularity is one thing--has it happened at all? With the price tag on these fish I'm amazed nobody has invested some real money into it.

I've heard they DO, in fact, have pulcher breeding projects in Thailand.

That's what I meant by regularity.

Where'd you hear this? I'd love if it were true.

Interesting. Still, though, part of me thinks that it won't take off 'till it's in private hands and there's actual profit to motivate people.
