Very cool news Anthony, do you think the courtship had anything to do with the recent full moon?

Well I leave the blue LED moonlights on most of the time, so I don't know what effect the real full moon would have on the fish.
The pair have been hanging out for a couple of weeks now, and they have always been "friendly" so I wasn't too surprised that they when they paired off. According to everything I've read, its next to impossible to successfully rear the fry of dwarf angels unless you have the facilities to raise the right size and species of live food so I'll just be happy that they "did" it, without worrying about trying to rear baby angels at this point in time.

Perhaps in the future then you might be prepared to try? I'd surely buy one from you.

I doubt it. From what I've researched, no private hobbyist has been successful. Only the biggest organizations with the research money to develop and raise the proper diet have done in to date in the world.

Wasn't there a guy in Hawaii who was commercially producing Centropyge offspring for a while? I can't think of his name. Frank Baensch or something? He's taken a break for the time being being and is just doing photography now but for a while there RC, at least the angel collectors at RC, were all abuzz about these angels ..

That is very cool! I believe the toughtest part is gathering the eggs and rearing the fry, their food demands are very particular and require lots of time and effort. My trio of Flame angels used to practice the ritual regularly at dust and would go one for hours. It was very fascinating to watch to say the least. However all that went out the window when a pair of Imperator was introduced
