It will be great when more marine fish are captive bred and available.  Especially the more common fish.  The amount of yellow tangs and hippo tangs you see in stores and you must know there are so many that dont make it to stores, and Im sure many man that dont survive in home aquariums.

Yes indeed ... and I hope that the get the Tang breeding issue solved before that new movie Finding Dori comes out as that will create a great demand for Tangs in general I think

And you are right many of the very common fish still need to be tank bred, yellow Tangs being one of them

Thanks for the thoughts
