I'm still around, in case anyone noticed I've been scarce. My home computer has some glitch in it that keeps me from posting in forums. On other machines like this one, though, I have no problem.
Anyway, I managed to get them to spawn in a tank once, but Phil is the only one who can consistently crank them out with his outdoor pool method. Output is still limited, though, so producing enough to 'save' them would still take a large scale effort.
Personally, I have no moral problem with using hormones to mass-farm them now that we've finally learned the natural ways, but not many agree with me. That would certainly produce enough fish to get the job done with much less expenditure of space, but for now I guess I don't see any pressing need for such production. The habitats which were destroyed should be fixed if possible first, I'd think, and then we could work toward restocking them.
