regional fish types

[hansmatt]

I'm looking at getting a baby hippo tang, and note that you have several different variants/locations where they are caught (solomon islands, fiji, indonesia)...other than price (sometimes) what is the difference in these fish? Are there different color variations, different temperature tolerances, or is it just that they speak a different dialect of tang?

Matt,

There is no difference in coloration, temperament, or sizes of these specimens, as these specimens are the same and only harvested in different areas. There may be a difference in pricing due to the difficulty of the harvest in each area and the distance traveled from the collection area to our facility. If the specimens are harder to harvest in a specific area it is reflected in the pricing of the specimen also.
