Fertilisation

[satty]

Hey guys i got a question to ask,all this cross breeding is done through natures way(Fertilisation of the egss by the male) or has anyone tried the invitro fertilisation where u fertilise the egg and sperm in your own lab and try to raise the young ones?

I've had the oportunity to watch and learn the process as it was done to tilapia on a fishfarm. Its a pretty involved process using expensive hormones and calculated dosages not to mention technique, I've heard it has been done with heckels but do not know for fact.
I don't think it would be cost effective for an ornamental fish that only lays on average 250 or so eggs.

That doesnt really answer your question though, sorry
