I will only put tank bred livestock, and aqua cultured corals in my tank even if it means some fish are not available to me.
Primarily because I wont have a hobby that damaged natural coral reefs. I would be no better than the fox hunters or game keepers then.
It also has the advantage that you get less pests, hardier fish and in some cases even less fussy eaters.
I insist that nothing goes in my tank if it came from the ocean, must be at least F1, preferably F2+ if available. Some species are becoming quite rare in the wild, and the capture process can be quite stressful for the fish when taken from the wild.
