Obtaining captive bred fish

[IdahoReef]

My wife is TOTALLY against collecting fish from the ocean, heck, she gets flush when it is mentioned about collecting rocks. "At least the animals can reproduce!!!!"

Anyway, I am trying to locate some sources for captive bred fish.

I wonder if she would be OK with "recycled" fish from other SW keepers? I'll have to ask. At least we would not be DIRECTLY affecting the depletion of the natural resources.

I know there are some gobies, blennies and some clowns out there. I am looking particularly for a main display fish for my 29 that is nearly ready.

main display fish? it will have to be a goby, blenny, cardinal or clown. You might get lucky and find a captive bred angel for $$. You don't want a tang or other big fish in a 29.

inland aquatics has captive raised fish - born in the ocean, raised somewhere on fish food - to reduce losses.

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, the link above only has a couple of fish actually in stock.
