Captive-bred flame angelfish?

[Claus84]

I had seen that, but I hadn't really found a place to buy them. You have to have one of their all-inclusive tanks in order to get one

I have one, at the end of last year a wholesaler here in the UK imported a load of Biota stock, bought a coral beauty and a mandarin. They aren't doing the aquarium packages over here so I guess they figured they may as well sell them separately. They have popped up on divers den from time to time

The largest hurdle has been conquered (successfully breeding them in captivity)! I'm SO glad to see significant advances breeding many common marine fish.

Here's the list of all of the ones I can think of off of the top of my head. Some are much farther along than others, but it would be cool to get a list going:

Regal Tangs
Yellow Tangs
Bangaii Cardinals
Pajama Cardinals
Oscellaris Clownfish
Flame Angels (Hawaiian)
Coral Beauty Angels
Multicolor Angels
Scribbled Angels
Bellus Angels
Mandarin Dragonette
Several Dottybacks
Several Blennies
Several Gobies
Filefish
Azure Damselfish

There are now a few more angel species available bred by Pomalabs such as singapore and black velvet, Asfur's are also available but not sure where from. Royal grammas are being produced by the Batavia institute in Aus. Stiped and blue banded pipefish have recently become available cb in the UK too.

There have been many advances in availability of cb stock in the last year alone, things are looking up for people like myself who only want to stock cb fish and corals. It's true that at the moment we have to pay a premium for some species but this is the price you pay for getting in early, eventually the price will drop.

I set my tank up about 18months ago and the availability of cb fish in the UK was pretty dismal, just clowns, cardinals and dottys really, fast forward a year and I have a coral beauty, flame angel, mandarin to go with my clowns and banggai.

I purchased a biota coral beauty about 5-6 months ago and he's been a model citizen has not touched any corals. He's a fatty eats anything I throw in there and swims with my clowns and orange strip goby. His color is great too
