Ruby Red Dagaret是水族馆世界的新移民之一,但ORA已经成功地繁殖了该物种。海洋礁和水族馆以前在其他种类的骑士和踏板车蓝色的基础上取得了成功,已经饲养了少数俘虏的育种红宝石红龙龙。
Despite being completely unknown and undescribed just a几年前, this species of dragonet managed to win over many aquarists around the world with its beautiful crimson body color and bright yellow fins. It sure didn’t hurt that the supply for the Ruby Red dragonet went from a handful of specimens per month, to hundreds per week and in the blink of an eye this fish went from uber rare to aglobal distribution in marine aquariums.
ORA has already raised about a dozen specimens of ruby red dragonets from their first fertilized spawn with females that were successfully matured at one inch long or less. The ruby red dragonet produces smaller spawns with a lower fertility rate than eitherSynchiropus ocellatus或者S. stellatus.
红宝石红龙纳的幼虫比红色或棕色踏板车较小,开发较慢‘blennies’ and they undergo metamorphosis at around 20 to 25 days. Despite some of these captive breeding shortcomings, ORA is optimistic they can increase the production to something more commercially acceptable.
The first captive bred clutch of ruby red dragonets are still just a tad over 35 days at this point and just beginning to show their namesake red coloration. ORA is now in the process of training the captive bred ruby red dragonets to eat pellet food so we have great hope that this species will one day become regularly available from ORA’s catalog of captive bred fish.
