Today, ORA announced the successful breeding of the Red Sea Mimic Blenny,Ecseniusgravieri，随之而来的是，坚不可摧的布伦尼拳击被打破了。几年来，几十年来，似乎已经成功地捕获了来自该属的Combtooth BlenniesEcseniuscouldn’t be done. While spawning these species has been relatively commonplace, rearing the offspring proved a futile, heartbreaking endeavor. Until the news out of ORA today, I am unaware of any successful reports of breeding Blennies of the genusEcsenius，其中包括我们业余爱好最喜欢的物种，例如双色和米达斯·布莱恩斯（Midas Blennies）。
至于奥拉如何实现这一惊人的壮举，可以理解的是，他们没有说话。“我们在产卵方面有很多经验Ecsenius物种，发现一旦您拥有一对兼容，它们通常每隔几天产卵，并且会趋向于由多批鸡蛋组成的大巢。即使我们已经可以访问Ecseniuseggs for years, raising the larvae had always eluded us until now.” Clearly, those efforts paid off with stunning blue and yellow results (as seen in these exclusive photos of wild and ORA captive-bred Red Sea Mimic Blennies, shot by Jake Adams last week).
To say this news is exciting is an understatement.E. Gravieri似乎已经有多年了。在一年左右的时间里，它已经以3-5倍的价格重新浮出水面，我在2006年左右为原始一对付款。ORA提供了这个高价的解释，分享说：“收藏家敏锐地意识到对模仿的需求但是他们似乎从来没有做到正确。最近向洛杉矶的26个模仿友的发货仅产生了3个模仿和23个尖牙。我们知道2009年的另一个例子，在那里订购了30个模拟物，收到了30个尖牙！”
ORA指的是什么？没有其他mieacanthus nigrolineatus，黑线方的Blenny（上图）也在红海中发现。正如大多数读者所知道的那样，牙蓝色有有毒的叮咬，其中有些等同于蜜蜂或更糟。所以当然，E. Gravieri完美地模仿了这种有毒的对应物，大概是捕食者避免了捕食者M. nigrolineatus.
With both species in cultivation, hobbyists out there can build a tank I honestly had planned to do in my basement fishroom – a dream tank showing the two species, original and impostor, side by side, assuming they’ll get along (we’re not aware of anyone who has placed the two species together…we assume they’ll coexist however)! And now, thanks to ORA’s dedication to breeding advancements, you can create this Red Sea biotoped and mimicry themed pairing with captive-bred versions of both species. ORA tells us that availability of the Red Sea Mimic Blenny will remain limited until more broodstock comes online, but the Blackline Fang Blenny is routinely available.
我们可以假设ORA将应用他们的专有知识Ecsenius繁殖以研究许多稀有，昂贵或无法从该属中找到物种。另一个优点 - 到目前为止，如果水产师想专门坚持被俘虏的物种，我们对草食鱼的选择非常有限。有了这个布伦尼驻式鲍尔的突破，我们的圈养饲养者清单增长了一个，但是如果Ora带来了更多的梳子Blenny物种，那可能会改变E. Pictus,e .眼睛, or even the outrageousE. Tigris）
