waldend Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Epic stuff here!!! Check out their facebook page (Rising Tide) for lots more pics. I will also plug the MBI workshop in Detroit this weekend as the man who was the lead on this project - Kevin Barden - will be in attendance as well as Chad Callahan the lead responsible for the first captive yellow tangs, among other giants in marine ornamental breeding. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2016/07/20/captive-bred-blue-hepatus-tangs-a-breakthrough-success-in-fl/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just read about it, pretty sweet. I'm really happy to start seeing some tang's being bred in captivity. Hopefully they can be mass produced like clowns are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can be mass produced like clowns are now. The yellows were done in fair numbers and released as one large batch. I will know more after this weekend on the Hawaii groups ability to produce a commercial number consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin1300 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Saw this while browsing this morning, awesome news! Hats off to all the perseverance on breeding in the past few years, it's really making some MAJOR strides and the amount of new species being bred seems exponential.
