Just an attempt to gather some sort of an idea how many people are actually breeding leopoldi in captivity. Please add any breeders you know of that have already had successful attempts at breeding leopoldi.

Lets see if this works..

I'll add as many as I know..apologies for any incorrect locations, please correct me! Sorry for leaving anybody out I cant think of..

US
Mike- h2o
Brent+
Todd- anythingfish.com
Freddy- I think US

Canada
Tim?
Rudy?

Holland
Frank

Germany
Michael H

I know there are more Im forgetting like Terrence- Gold Ocean Aqua and Tyson but not sure on locations..

Would you guys think it is safe to say that there are less than 20 people worldwide actively breeding leopoldi rays?
 
lots of breeders of rays in asia but i think they are mainly hybrids and i think there are more in germany.... tim/rudy has henlei..... and freddy is in the US
 
Im pretty sure Dr. Richard Ross has some breeding leo also. Or maybe its henlei.. Also are you counting public aquariums? As lots of them are breeding leos
 
is dr. ross a member on MFK?
 
You guys know that not every ray keeper is on the internet right? Youd be surprised how small the percentage of people are and even more surprised who is next door.

Take two examples I personally know of. One is a guy in Indiana with a 2000gallon+ pond with HUGE henleii. They were breeding but unfortunately he lost them. Also a guy in Cincinnati I know of just sold nearly a DOZEN black rays for CHEAP (less then 2 grand for all including tank!) Hell here in Louisville KY an Asian Aro was found dead in the Ohio.

Just goes to show....you never know.
 
ross breeds henlei... not sure on leos but i know he has henlei....if he is a member on mfk he doesnt want peopleto know...

There are probably alot more then 20 people thru out the world currently breeding leo. Rudy (Tim) is trying to breed henlei and I dont know of anyone else in Canada who is breeding black rays. In asia there breeding tons of rays but most are hybrids.
