We aren't destroying natural populations. Just like we do with coral now.
so they double or even triple in value because of this? Its still the same fish. I mean I'm all for the keeping them in the wild, but I don't understand the increase in price. I guess there will be more demand for them now?
Once they get the breeding down I would assume the health of the fish is overall better. This I would pay a large premium for. I am sick of sick fish .
valid point. Raised in a LFS they should be completely resistant to ich they would of had it so many times by the time they are ready to be sold : )
I was only joking around.
whats so great about captive bred tangs. Is this about tangs not being allowed to be caught anymore?
Yea i get all that. I meant greatness in reference to price.It is about preserving an fragile ecosystem, a major concern for coral reefs is the decrease of herbivores, which eat macroalgae, this in turns prevents shading and overgrowth of slower growing coral colonies.
So basically keeping one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet alive and healthy is what is so great about captive bred tangs!
(Sorry, just couldn't resist)

You guys are going to make me cry. How is it as a hobby we've missed the value of captive breds.
We won't get there if our own doesn't support the effort..... look at the mandarins.
I highly doubt any hobbyist are against supporting the eco system.We won't get there if our own doesn't support the effort..... look at the mandarins.
I believe the mandarins failed because they made the false sense that they were eating prepared foods. They should have just stuck to them being captive bred and said no more.
