Aquaculture Captive bred yellow tangs! (1 Viewer)

Awesome news about the Captive breeding advancements! But other than ORA and designer clowns i can never seem to find captive bred fish for sale anywhere? Is it because theyre just 1 or 2 small cases and not distributed yet?

Yeah, many of the advancements are still small scale and rarely available. Typically you have to have some connection with the breeder raising small batches to get any of their fish. Fortunately, in the next year or so, we should see an increase in captive bred angelfish and possibly other fish.

Check out the latest Reef Threads Podcast (#253).
They discuss the captive breeding of yellow tangs with two of the graduate students that are working with this project.
Very informative and great insight into all of the time and effort involved in trying to raise pelagic marine fish.
