Hopefully lots more captive bred fish to come over the next coming years ( this my favourite fish also) but thought wouldnt be able to keep one due to its feeding for quite some time yet

It would be nice

It'd sure be nice to have CBCBB that are accustomed to the foods we can easily obtain ... now, if only I can get one past the Tang Gang . . .

I have been waiting for this since I got into hobby. CBB is in my top 5 favorite fish and a must have. I have not had once since mine died in 2013 after a year in my tank.

This is really exciting! If this can become commercially available and we can reduce harvesting this fish from the wild it would be amazing. One of the prettiest fish out there but can be hard to keep. I am lucky in that I have had mine for like 4 years, eats from my hand, and is packed with personality. The unfortunate side however is most won’t make it for many reasons.

I think my favorite fish I've ever kept is my CBB.

They just updated their progress. Looks like things are going well and their older batches are freely accepting frozen and dry foods!
