It’s been 6 months since SEASMART, Pacific Aqua Farms, Blue Zoo Aquatics and Fed Ex all brought the PNG Lightning Maroon Clownfish to my doorstep.  The Lightning Project continues at the typical clownfish pace…glacially slow.  I thought this might be time to reflect…
For a while I kept a list of urls where discussions would turn up.  It is MASSIVE!  It’s interesting to look back from months later and see all that was said at the time.  Some of the things I found most interesting are all those things that folks got wrong and how much information out there conflicts or just downright fundamentally untrue.  A new surprise that I hadn’t read before, apparently someone bought the rights to breed this fish and has two.  I must meet this man…
Here’s a slew of the links, including a few more recent ones, a few where the Lightning isn’t the primary subject, and a few about the first Lightning Maroon collected in 2008.  Posts are in alphabetical order – I’ll be adding this jumble to the links page as well!  If you know of one I’m missing here (or find anything broken), please post it to the comments and I’ll add / fix it!
