I've actually been pretty impressed with the amount of Captive-Bred angelfish that have started to pop up on there! I know a flame angel in general might not register as cool&rare as the gem tang, but I love what captive breeding developments might mean in the long run (especially with rarer angels like the japanese pygmy)!! They even have a CB Blue Ring Angel!

The CB angels seem to do really well. Worth the extra money IMO.

Does anyone know if Liveaquaria/DD is running any promos on Black Friday for fish?

Captive Bred Borbonius $549 - beautiful, but worth that much money? |

Unrelated maybe but I don't understand the pricing. Not so much vs. captive bred but just in general. I am building a wish list for my 240 gallon and trying to find some Angel's that are reef save but maybe something I've seen while diving in Hawaii or Japan. I came across a Masked Swallowtail Angelfish which I believe is reef safe and they are offering it for around 200 dollars (Philippians) but another source is 55 to 66 dollars (female/male) but indo pacific. So a bit confused what the difference is outside of location. Is that handled better, caught, shipped, color, or?

No, it's insane at that price. Yes, it's captive bred which supposedly makes them hardier, but holy crap, that's a lot

I think part of the premium for captive bred/raised is novelty and 'conscience easing'. I don't doubt that the cost is higher versus somebody going out with a net. Never been much of a borbonius fan ...... fortunately
Wow, autocorrect does not like the word borbonius .... Had to fix it three times

I recently had a chance to buy a couple captive bred blue line angels. I think it was the first time they were offered. I really wanted to grab captive bred ones but I couldn’t make myself pay the $500 each they were going to cost. And even then, $500 for a blue line angel is much more reasonable than $550 for a blotched anthias IMO. |
