Please note that although we breed all of the following, not all species are always available for sale.
 |
| This species will benefit
from large aquariums with undergravel (sand) filters as they
spend much of their time sieving the substrate of the aquarium
- useful for maintaining a clean and healthy filter bed. Watchman
Gobies are very shy and peaceful fish and are well suited to
both invert and fish only aquariums. The life cycle of this
species was closed in our facility in 1994. Occasional batches
are now being raised. |
 |
| Endemic to Catalina Island,
this brightly coloured fish is suitable for cooler aquariums
(22-23°C). Intolerant to its own kind, Catalina Gobies do
best in invertebrate set ups with lots of rockwork for nest
building. Broodstock reside in our facility and work is being
carried out to establish larval requirements. |
 |
| A colour variation of the
more common Blue Neon Goby and exhibiting much of the same behavioural
characteristics. These little fish are extremely hardy and easy
to keep and are suitable for both invert and fish set ups. They
will actively perform cleaning duties for other fish, and plenty
of rock is necessary in order to provide suitable retreat |
 |
| Very popular, and renowned
for its hardy attributes, the Neon Goby is a colourful addition
to almost all tanks. If provided with plenty of shelter, this
peaceful fish will happily mate and spawn in a well-maintained
aquarium. |
 |
| Another peaceful fish that
does best in an invert aquarium. This tiny fish is characterised
by its bright yellow colour and its tendency to sit on or within
coral heads and polyps. Occasional batches are raised |
| Similar in colour to G.evelynae;.
This species shows all the same behavioural characteristics.
Easy to keep. Best kept in the invert aquarium. |
| Perfectly suited for the invert
aquarium. This delightful species is colourful and easy to keep.
Best behaviour is exhibited when five or more are kept together. |
 |
| Erroneously named Amphiprion
percula, this attractive fish differs in both geographical distribution
and morphological characteristics from the Percula Anemonefish.
A hardy addition to the aquarium, but always at its best when
there are sea anemones in the tank. |
 |
| Confined to a much smaller
field of distribution, this fish has all the familiar characteristics
of its orange relative but exhibits a more distinctive difference
in colour. Passive and extremely hardy, these fish are best
kept in pairs in an invert set up. |
 |
| As juveniles, Amphiprion percula
are significantly different in both behaviour and colour from
more mature specimens. Hardy and easy to keep, these fish are
an excellent choice for the invert aquarium. |
 |
| Only produced in selected
batches, this colour variant of the red percula exhibits the
same characteristics but offers the aquarist an unusual but
hardy fish for the invert aquarium. |
 |
| Due to its adaptive nature
Amphiprion clarkii is a very popular clownfish for both fish
and invert set ups. Only produced in selected batches, this
variety is easily kept and will live quite happily in a community
environment. |
 |
| This is a very robust fish
suitable for both invert and fish aquariums. As juveniles, these
fish exhibit extra stripes that fade and disappear during maturity.
As these fish are tank bred, they tend to be less aggressive
than their wild caught counterparts, and are kept successfully
in small groups in our hatchery. |
 |
| Brighter in colour than Amphiprion
melanopus, these are hardy fish which are easy to feed as they
accept a variety of foods. The females grow significantly larger
than the males and will spawn easily in the aquarium if provided
with the correct environment. Again, they are successfully kept
in small groups in our hatchery. |
| This species, which comes
from Mombassa, is hardy yet less aggressive than A.clarkii.
Under the right conditions it will easily spawn in the aquarium.
Fine for the fish aquarium but best with sea anenomes. |
 |
| Although not in production
yet, this species will offer the aquarist an alternative to
the more commonly seen Skunk Clownfish. A timid and passive
fish, Amphiprion sandaricinos will benefit from being kept in
pairs and in the presence of a sea anemone. |
 |
| Not in production yet, but
Amphiprion perideraion will require the same care as Amphiprion
sandaricinos. |
 |
| Work has begun on this species
with broodstock regularly producing eggs. Occasional batches
are raised. |
 |
| During 1997, TMC had great
success with a pilot study on Lysmata debelius. The results
were encouraging and work is continuing on producing small numbers
of animals on a regular basis. |
 |
| During 1999 we successfully
raised the first batch of Lysmata amboinensis and work is continuing
to produce them commercially. |
| The perfect way of controlling
Aptasia in the invert aquaria. These fascinating animals add
variety and interest to the aquaria. |
 |
| We now have broodstock of
this species in our facility. From this we hope to repeat our
previous success with these fish and produce regular, small
batches for sale. Raised in captivity, these animals will already
be accustomed to inanimate food items, reducing the nutritional
problems sometimes associated with wild specimens. |
| Best in species specific aquaria.
Tank-raised seahorses are well accustomed to frozen foods. Kept
in pairs will readily spawn in the home aquarium. |
| Hardy fish but can be very
aggressive to other fish particularly when spawning. Feeds well
and can grow rather large. |
| Very aggressive so not really
suitable for the fish aquarium. Delicate feeders. |
