They are spawnable, and have been by at least three people over the years. The last I saw was @10 years ago at an aquarist's house in LA--I went to verify his breeding for BAP. I don't believe anyone has been working with them lately. Perhaps at a University, but I don't think many hobbyist's are truly trying to breed em'--and the farms aren't because of the requirements--which they couldn't match well. Like Black Neons, and neons, they all succumb to breeding at some point. >---------- >From: Ed Pon[SMTP:edpon@hotmail.com] >Sent: Friday, March 27, 1998 8:37 AM >To: apisto@majordomo.pobox.com >Subject: Fwd: Re: breeding established aquarium forms > >Dave wrote: >>When were cardinals spawned???
