Any local firefish breeding?

Orange firefish. There are tank bred purple and helfrichi, but no orange.

Are the purple and helfrichi bred locally?

I doubt it. Would be nice if the were.

Yeah my impression is that this is a bit hard to do on a mass economic scale.  Otherwise they are very easy fish to keep and the big breeders (ORA, etc.) would breed them like they do the various clownfish or cardinals.   

 

But then you could say the same about royal grammas which are not captive bred in the U.S..... though I think price plays a role in that (really easy to get them from the Caribbean to the US market)
