Interested to hear everyone’s wishlist on captive bred fish. Hopefully we can start a heated discussion and eventually a poll to help inform our beloved captive breeding facilities where to focus next.
here is a list of my own, most of them Hawaiian simply due to the fact of unavailability. Others are just tough to keep when caught from wild:
Masked angelfish- availability
Bandit angelfish- availability
Potter’s angelfish- availability
Moorish idol- challenging
Achilles tang- challenging
Copperband butterflyfish- challenging
Pyramid butterflyfish- availability
Watanabe angelfish- availability
Leopard wrasses (varied species)- challenging
Crosshatch triggerfish- availability
Clown tang- challenging
Sohal tang- challenging
Gem tang- availability
most of the fish above are slightly larger ticket items and should be profitable to the breeders should they choose to invest.
Let me know your thoughts and what’s on your list!
