I understand the importance of purchasing the aquaculture fish over wild caught. But my concern is the excessive amount of money that is required to purchase some of the species. Double if not more than the price of wild caught. And if it is a harder to acquire species it drives the price up even higher. Take the Coral Beauty dwarf angel, captive bread is $100.00 while wild are $45.00. Can some one explain why something that is designed to stop people from depleting the wild species from the oceans would cost the consumer hobbyist 2 times the amount to purchase?
