Captive Bred Yellow Tang (and other fish)?

[MCooper]

I have decided to only add Captive Bred fish from this point on.
Battling horrible disease outbreak that has killed off 80% of my livestock sadly.

How can I find a captive bred yellow tang?
Also, other good captive bred fish resources?

My LFS had some captive bred yellow tangs the other day, they are out there just harder to find.

Many captive fish are kept in systems that also house wild fish, so still can be carriers of pathogens. And because they aren't exposed to diseases in all facets of their life, so their immune system is not as equiped as a wild fish to combat these pathogens.

So you feel they are actually weaker?

Yes, I do. Mother nature culls far more severely than commercial breeders. It is survival of the fittest in the wild for a reason
