Tank raised tangs and butterflies

[samurai9]

Check out flying fish express' (www.ffexpress.com) tank raised tangs and butterflies. I'm impressed, they have some pretty fancy fish, like auriga butterflies. Quite a leap from the usual dottybacks and clowns. Is this a first? I have never seen tangs or butterflies that are tank raised elsewhere. I think tank raised opposed to captive bred means they take the larvae from the ocean, am I right?

Yes. You are right.

Can people post links to all the tank raised sites they know of?

It sounds like an eco-friendly way to get a greater variety of animals.

Hooray, upward onwards and forever sideways.

Their Butterflies and Tangs are so small. Has anyone kept the Butterflies of one inch big successfully? I am interested in their tank raised Butterflies, but I am afraid they are too small to be hardy. Any idea?

Find out what they are fed, keep them in isolation for a while away from larger, aggressive fish.
