Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Neopomacentrus cyanomos are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Neopomacentrus cyanomos, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Neopomacentrus cyanomos, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

(Bleeker, 1856)

Easily agressiv against conspecifics and even against other species. This usually occurs when new fishes are set into the tank. Very uneasy fishes! At least that's what it looked like in the shop. Should be kept in a group, the disquietness will propably stay. Not recommend for reef tanks.
