Tang/Wrasse breeding?

[reefman13]

Does anyone have any experiance breeding tangs? I am planning on breeding clowns and trying to see if there is any hope in breeding tangs.

Oh and is breeding wrasses possible or near to impossible?

Thanks in advanced for the help.

Well over the past few hours I have found that there is a lot of work involved in breeding tangs, as they have been noted for swaning however no records have been made to show that they have grown to adult hood.

Wrasses.....well there is little to no breeding info on them

So I guess that I am going to stick with clowns, any one have somethings to look out for? I was just reading something that recomended a circular tank versus one with corners as they get dead spots with no flow = no oxyenation = dead larvae

While this isn't a lot of information, it's the first ever spawning of a Yellow Coris Wrasse, a Six Line Wrasse, a Four Line Wrasse, and interbreeding of a Six Line and Four Line Wrasse that I've ever heard of, let alone seen. It's cool to view none the less: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1052785

No prob, Luis. Thanks for the link. But like I said, these matings are "as far as I know". There very well could be spawning reports of these in captivity, but in two hours of googling, I couldn't find anything.

There is also a Labroides dimidiatus report in the German larval site.Amazing as these fish are considered difficult to keep alive!:eek1:
