Even hobbyists regularly breed the smaller marine species such as clownfishes and Bangai cardinals. The key hurdles are providing an adequate substitute for whichever species of marine plankton larval fish specialise in before settling down on a reef,

Biota and ORA are good places to look for captive bred saltwater fish!
