"Clearly, the “new system” at Bali Aquarich has borne fruit, in the form of the world’s first captive-bred Regal Angelfishes, Pygoplites diacanthus! Su privately noted that parents of these amazing babies represent the local Indonesian form of the species."

Surprised this thread has remained unanswered, this is phenomenal news :eek:

This so frickin AWESOME!

Definitely incredible. Hopefully they become widely available eventually. It will save a lot of wild ones.

A little disappointing that they started with the grey chest variety. I would imagine people would be willing to pay at least twice as much for the yellow belly. Hopefully they attempt yellow bellies as well.

Any updates on this?

Lol probably will cost 3x a wild caught because bred fish are "healthier", and more "robust".

On a positive note, this is definitely surprising. I wonder how they did it?

Mark up has less to do with health than how many more cost inputs go into breeding vs collecting.

Cost in reefs has more to do with what people are willing to pay than anything else.
