What wouldn't I like to see captive-bred? I'm sure people have mentioned this, but for example, unique regional variations like Cocos Island Lemonpeels, which should also be a good commercial proposition, since they are just as easy to breed as regular lemonpeels, but command a far higher price due to rarity, and would therefore be far more profitable, so long as breeders kept supply relatively low. Candy Basslets would be a similar idea. Both of these have been bred before, but not commercially.
I really hope someday soon all the common dwarf angelfish in the hobby will be consistently available captive bred. (Common as in, not like, Peppermint angelfish. Which belong to the first category of fish I was talking about - rare, for one reason or another, but generally have already been captive bred at least once.) Also would love to see more anthias. Especially some of the smaller, more elaborately colored Pseudanthias, like smithvanizi or ventralis. Or genuses of anthias very rare in the hobby, like sailfin anthias.
Lol, but I'd also really like to be able to get common smaller fish like Tailspot Blennies. Not sure how practical that is, commercially, since they already go for a low price wild-caught. But I adore them. Or Trimma Gobies, which are just gorgeous, and perfect for picos and nanos, but quite rare in the hobby. Or some of the really pretty dartfish from around Japan...
