Aquarist and first time CORAL Magazine contributor David Watson, DVM, at home in his fishroom, November 2012.

One of the most exciting stories in the next issue of CORAL Magazine is that of David Watson’s at-home breeding success with the Red-stripe Cardinalfish, Ostorhinchus margaritophorus (syn. Apogon margaritophorus) in Madison, Wisconsin. Watson’s success with the species came right around the same time as the success of large-scale commercial producer Sustainable Aquatics, making it difficult to determine who was first to rear the species. Either way, this isn’t Watson’s first unusual at home marine fish breeding success, and hopefully isn’t his last.
