Tank bred Royal gramma

[kelp47]

Does anyone know where I can find a tank bred Royal gramma? I thought I had read that they were available, but I haven't found one yet.

I read an article that they have been tank raised (eggs collected in the wild), but not tank bred. Probably not a huge priority for aquaculture, since they are so common on Caribbean reefs.

From what I've heard the issue is that their clutch sizes are too small to be commercially viable. Otherwise they should be easy enough to breed.
Mine are most definitely spawning, but I haven't been able to find their nest - way too many rocks in that tank to hide in.
Grammas I had in the past build outright nests from algae filter nylon and what other stringy material they could find. So I never could find any larva in the tank.
If I find the time I may look into this again, but only as training in case I can get my hands on a few G. dejongi.

Thanks, guys. I guess I'll just go with wc then.
