People must have some nice male/female pairs of tangs, at least of the few species where they can be easily sexed.
Show me your Tang pairs!

tangs are a schooling species and when they breed they breed and spawn as a group not a pair. Keeping a "pair" of any tang would be very difficult, as they are near impossible to sex (zebramosa are possible but difficult)

It is pretty fascinating the way they breed. Check out a video if you get the chance.

Powder blues will pair in a very large system, the males stay smaller, Nasos can also be paired.

I've seen regal tangs spawn in a 9ft tank. There were two of them and the eggs hatched very quickly but there was no luck raising them. I think a huge set back for the way they spawn, apart from the larger numbers, is tank height. They need a deep tank to even recreate a small part of the natural process.

Hippos are tank bred and so are the yellow belly variants
Really? I didn't know that... since when?

Certainly not the most common but apparently they're doing it

Yes sorry tank raised not tank bred, but they are making steps in the right direction along with a lot of other desirable fish
