2) Yes, a lot of us live near them.
I can't really answer either 3) or 4).

2) Not me.
3) Can't say I can answer that one.
4) Tie between Johnnys and Fantails which are still fairly difficult to breed, I'll be attempting at least Johnny Darters in April, already starting to condition them.

2) I live fairly close to them. They are easy to observe while snorkeling but are exceedingly difficult to catch. Even with a large crew, large seine, and backpack shockers, they are still a fairly uncommon catch, especially compared to their actual abundance. Interesting to note also is that I have absolutely no idea where the little ones hang out. They would be the ideal target if one were going to attempt to collect them, but in my travels I have only ever seen a single juvenile while snorkeling, and it was already a 1-year-old based on its size and time of year.

Leo, really stop now. Nobody is getting you tangerines. Too difficult, and too protected let it go.
I guess I misread the post. I was not expecting it to happen, just thought I might as well ask.

There are sharks in every ocean...except Billy Ocean.

Unfortunately a lot of natives jump. Get a screen lid and try the log perch again. Well worth the effort.
