Tank bred Centropyge

[Bill2]

Anyone know the availability of tank bred centropyge angels. I skimmed the article in this month's FAMA and wonder if we can get those. I would love a tank bred centropyge interrruptus

Not very, I heard that Quality Marine was (at the time I was there) the only wholesaler with them in the U.S.

There is an etailer-AMDA member touting tank raised Flame Angels for $79.99 so I guess they are available someplace.

I thought he was looking specifically for C. interruptus.

Oops! My bad, nevermind.

Qaulity Marine is selling tank-bred angels that come from an operation in Hawaii.

Frank Baench, who wrote the FAMA articles, is selling tank reared C. interrupta from his website ... for $700. He is currently expanding is operation and is not in full production at the moment.

Hooy! Boy, I'd heard they were spendy but good lord! Can you imagine the boots I could buy with $700? :lol: Actually.. there's no way on God's green that I'd spend that kinda money on a pair of boots.

I believe they wholesale for $350 ea.

I once saw a very small one for sale in a shop in Tokyo, they wanted $400.

Here is Frank's website:
