I'll throw in my 2 cents, I picked up one of these 1" small tangs at reef runners last week and it has done great in my tank so far.  It swims in the open all day and has literally eaten anything I have put in the tank since introducing it.(mysis, brine, pellets, flake, cyclopeeze, nori)  The color is awesome too.

When we had the pet factory open we were selling a whole bunch of fish I was getting from a tank raising facility and none of them were bred in captive. We starting selling them early in 2004 so this isn't an entirely new process or term. Although I had never heard of anyone doing this will hepatus tangs. Sounds like a good idea though.
What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!

Why does it matter if they are born in captivity or captured as fry/larvae? Aren't both methods superior to capturing adults on the reef in that the collection methods are less destructive? I mean, they don't use cyanide or dynamite to capture larval fish I would think. Ultimately it would be better to breed them all in captivity, but the costs would probably make it unbelievably out of whack with wild-captured fish. This would be until some sort of outright ban is made on wild-caught forcing more people (overseas where labor and resources are cheap) to breed and raise the fish, thus increasing supply and reducing the price.

It's funny to me that a lot of people are so worked up about the fish and livestock collected for the aquarium industry because it is such a small fraction of ocean life that is collected for people to eat!

Sweet! I guess its a trend now, I know that Reef Runners does, Aquatica is supposed to be getting them along with all sorts of other tank raised fish this week. Noe Marine-Aquatics... pretty much looks like within the next month or so all stores in UT will be caring them... that is so cool!

Eric do you know when they are coming in and how much they will be?
