ILMGB Haven't Gobiodon okinawae, Yellow Clown Gobies, as well as Gobiodon atrangulatus, Green Clown Gobies also been bred in captivity? I know ORA doesn't have them on their website but I have read about people successfully breeding and raising the fry.
Great post BTW, makes it easy for people to see what they can find as captive raised.

Gobiodon okinawae nad Gobiodon atrangulatus have both been bred in captivity.
Something to keep in mind is that some of the fish listed above have been bred and raised in captivity, however they have not been bred and raised commercially yet.

Are the Seahorses hardier than what you read about? Easier to feed and care for? (next tank maybe) Great list ILGB, Thanks!

It's not that seahorses are not hardy, it's that they are difficult to feed. They are still not easy to feed. They still are slow moving too. Captive bred seahorses are easier to feed than wilds though because they are raised on "captive" foods.

Too bad it's not practical the breed tangs in captivity
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

It's being worked on Cliff, in fact, the same group that bred the Pinnate Batfish are close to breeding P. heptus. :D

Why are tangs not practical to breed? Because they have such a long larval stage?
-

Yes, they have long larval stages
...and they need lots of room. The average home aquarium doesn't give Tangs enough space for spawning.

There is some really exciting news on the captive breeding front though. The same group that has bred the Pinnate Batfish, and is working on the Blue Hippos, is also working on Emperor Angels (P. imperator) and a number of other difficult-to-breed species. It won't surprise me if one day this group manages to breed Moorish Idols, and if they do, I'll be first in line to buy one. LOL
