anyone interested in participating in a "challenge" next year, please nominate a species or two.

i will be using my "powers" to not include any species nominated that are basically unrealisitc in the final poll. tangs, angels etc.

hopefully we will get a couple of our fantastic LFS to help us out again with low price broodstock.

I'm happy to help with broodstock :thumbsup:

If were not too sick of gobies I'd like to nominate the Rainford's Goby - Amblygobius rainfordi.

Here's my suggestions:

Seahorses - any species

Fairy wrasses? This one might be a bit unrealistic though, as to date I dont believe there is any breeding success.

I think this is a must. I think people need to see some level of success, to get them interested, or hold their interest in breeding.

There are a few hard ones already, but I guess we just nominate anything, they can always be culled later!

I Nominate:

1: Calloplesiops altivelis (Marine Betta/Comet grouper)
2: .....will think about it...

you could do it as part of MOFIB, currently there is a nomination thread going, but its abotu to close.

it is likely that there will be prizes this time and hopefully some breedable species.

Ecsenius stigmatura (Tail Spot Blenny)

I don't know if we can get this fish here, but I reckon it would be pretty good. Plus I want an excuse to work on blennys again..

Huzzah I second it! Particularly for Kuda's, but they're one of the hardest apparently so maybe seahorses as a whole, and let pipefish be included?
