Thats awesome I'm very glad to see a whole store of captive breed species, however in one of the pics it said tank-raised angel, there is a big difference between tank raised and captive breed. So as I said I love the idea and would love to see A LOT MORE of these kind of stores poping up but if you advertise as a captive store then have only captive breed species. Tank raised still means it came from the wild. BUt again I cant say it enough what a great idea this is and really hope it catches on and the need/overconsumption of wild organisms will decline. "Approximately 500-600 million ornamental fish are captured every year for the aquarium trade" (Primack Essentials of Conservation Biology 2005).

It is very cool! I saw Anthony Calfo do a speech last month talking about captive breeding and how we need to become self sufficient.
Yes we do. I think we are on the right path with corals, each day more and more people start cutting corals. We just need to get breeding more fish.
