如果您一直在阅读礁石建造者的时间，那么您现在必须知道Gramma Dejongiis in the reef aquarium hobby. It’s recent discovery, scarcity, and provenance from a US-embargoed country all add up to a perfect storm of a rare fish for fancy fish collectors.
Initially the ‘yellow royal gramma’ was seen as just a curiosity from Cuba costing just a few hundred Euros. But once this fish was recognized as a new species, paraded on Reef Builders quite a bit, and officially described asGramma Dejongiin honor of Dejong Marinelife, the demand skyrocketed pushing the cost of this fish into the thousands of dollars.
With all of this attention and fanfare, and with common royal grammas having been captive bred decades ago, it’s a surprise it took so long forG. dejongito be put into a captive breeding program. In America part of the issue was in legally acquiring this Cuban marinelife ‘product’, but thankfully with lots of support from the aquarium hobby, Todd Gardner acquired a small group with which to start breeding this species.
最后,托德的传奇又兜了回来nnouncing the successful captive breeding of the illustriousGramma Dejongi. It may not be the same degree of technical milestone as breakthroughs with the first captive bred yellow and blue tangs, but it is equally important in our eyes for showing the力量圈养的育种可能必须生产原本不可用的鱼。
它也不可能太快了，因为侵入性的lion鱼吞噬了他们可以安装在无法满足的胃中的所有小鱼，明亮的小黄色Gramma Dejongimake easy prey. If captive breeders want a real ‘Rescue Project’, forget about Banggai cardinalfish and turn your attention to this storied fish.
It’s our sincere desire that this initial captive breeding success leads to a chain reaction wherein more breeders get their hands on this species and breed it as well. Hopefully Todd’s success withG. dejongi不会像圈养的糖果basslet或Flathead Perches这样的一次性故事，我们将共同沿着一条途径，从现在起几年后，我们将看到50美元Gramma Dejongi就在他们的闪电栗色小丑鱼对应物。
