Eye roll...
They are full of it. They wont be available for sell in any LFS for a long time yet. If you watch the video interview with the people who actually bred them, they say that too. The first wave of the yellow tangs are going to aquariums and other facilities for study and what-not.
Actually this is wrong, they shipped them out two days ago to two large wholesalers, so depending on the wholesalers turn around time they could have gotten out to the public already.

So you are misinformed, and out of date in your info.....not saying the store is honest, not saying it isn't....just saying they are out there to purchase.
Well considering I work at an LFS and we literally checked two days ago if they would be available and we were told exactly what I just related, then maybe our suppliers are lying to us. Hmm... that's awfully rude of them.
I apologize for having out of date information and apparently insulting you with it.
They seem to be garbage anyway... I think they should have waited longer before releasing them to LFS. If it is true they are selling them..
Just got off the phone with my fish guy
They are not lying to you, Meredith.
At this time Segrest Farms and Quality Marine are not shipping the cultured yellow tangs to LFS.
The retail price will be ~$100 on these fish unless the retailer chooses to lose money.
No problem You didn't insult me, just saying that up to date information is always a good thing. I just find it improper when a scientific advancement is made (yes captive breeding is one), and people don't get the facts straight as that has previously caused issues in other matters. Anyways, back to the main topic......Do you deal with these two suppliers? Perhaps your suppliers just told you this because they couldn't get any themselves and didn't want to look inferior?
Why are they garbage? Any specific reason? Unhealthy?
In fact it says almost all of them are scared from HLLEIf you read the article they seem the have issues with HLLE..
We aren't destroying natural populations. Just like we do with coral now.whats so great about captive bred tangs. Is this about tangs not being allowed to be caught anymore?
