royal grammas

[Farrierfish]

:fish2: royal grammas
for some reason I love these fish.
I am looking to get them breeding and cannot find anything about them.
has anyone inthe club bred them or heard of them being bred.
I realize they are bred commercially but I am trying to find info about it and it's just not out there.
I have searched the internet for over two weeks and all I found was a general book on breeding saltwater fish on amazon.
any help is appreciated.

Check MOFIB

Some info from internet:
Gonochorist, sexually monomoephic.
20g or 10g are suitable for a single pair. Since it's hard to distinguish sexes, the best approach is to put a group in a 40g and let them pair of naturally.
Broodstock aquariums could be just bare, some pvc caves, a strands of caulepera or similar algae (algae are used for nest building, hair algae also works well. Dim light
Royal gramma's spawn nightly on a prolonged period of time. Thus the eggs hatch on different nights... Larvae collectors are the best option.
Incubation usually lasts 7 days. Larvae can be reared using the green water method. Newly hatched artemia after 10 days.
Post metamorphosis juveniles should be supplied with PVC to limit aggression.

MOFIB is a very helpful site and has a section on gammas.
