Captive breeding / propagation

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

Husbandry

Jürgen Schmitt, tyska reeflex: Dessa små putsarfiskar trivs bättre i par än ensamma. De tar gärna frys- eller torrfoder och hittar ofta en väl synlig plats där de upprättar en putsarstation dit fiskar kan ta sig för att bli befriade från parasiter. En av mina smörbultars favoritplats var ett skal från en mussla (Tridacna crocea) som i slutänden dödade själva smörbulten. Musslan irriterades av smörbulten och öppnade sig inte längre helt. En dag hade den krossat den lilla smörbulten.
