Whats the difference

Whats the difference between tank breed and no-tank breed? (besides 1 was breed in a tank )

 

[werkkrew]

Tank Bred means the fish was bred and born in captivity.

This means the animal wasn't taken from the wild.

O ok, so tank breed is for someone that doesn't like the fish taking from the wild? i think i got it. I wasn't sure if there was a difference in their behavior or something.

Sometimes tank bred fish are more hearty, and can be less aggressive. Or so they say...

also do you guys think a longnose hawkfish, and a six line wrasse will have enough room in my 24 gal?

Interesting question and one in which I would have answered yes prior to a meeting at a LFS the other night. They had a number of longnose hawkfish that looked a lot larger than would have imagined one getting. Now that I look into them I see they can get up to 5" so this must be taken into account when placing in your 24 gallon along with a sixline.

Here is a little on them:
Good tankmate choices include Dwarf Angels (as long as they're not too small), Pseudochromids/Dottybacks, most Damselfishes, larger Gobies and Blennies, mid-size wrasses, Butterflyfishes, Anthias, Clownfishes... Mid-temperament and sized fishes overall... as well as invertebrates other than mouth-sized crustaceans and worms. Again, due to their at times territorial nature, Hawkfish should be the last placed specimens in a collection.
