i was thinking more on the commercial level and what people can get readily and what LFS should be stocking regularly. it's true on the local level though there is more and more success happening everyday like yourself. sounds like you've had some pretty good success with a few things, just curious on what sp. of shrimp. i've had banded corals; skunk cleaners carrying eggs but never messed with trying to raise them. i've always been very interested in trying my hand at breeding and propagating different things. i've had pretty good luck with dward seahorses and the yellow florida sp. (forgot the species name) and going to try my hand at some clowns, and it's pretty easy now to become a gardener in your own reef tank and do some trading for new things.
