This week is a short follow-up discussion about marine fish breeding. We talk more about Todd, Kathy Leahy’s work and her Reefs Magazine article, and look at all of the captive-bred/raised fish that are now commercially available from Diver’s Den and several wholesale sources. We encourage everyone to buy captive-raised marine fish whenever possible. You’ll save money. Download the podcast here, or subscribe to our podcasts at iTunes.

Reef Threads Podcast #286


One of the coral beauty fish that Kathy Leahy has raised from egg to settle and adult color.

We end our one-week hiatus with a terrific discussion with marine fish breeder Kathy Leahy. In the podcast we talk about fish breeding in general, the recent MBI conference, and, most exciting, Kathy’s success as the first person to raise the coral beauty from eggs to settle. We apologize for the few moments when technology let us down, but are confident you’ll enjoy the discussion. Download the podcast here, or subscribe to our podcasts at iTunes.
