So that means I can get a Dory for my tank now!

Just kidding, I kinda thought that once development was made propagating the Yellow tangs in Hawaii we might see more of this kinda stuff.

I was hoping for more in depth info on how they did it. From what I know tangs are broadcast spawners and only spawn in large groups in a HUGE space which is why no one was able to do it previously.

LRS' Who's Your Daddy Formula is what they are feeding the broodstock.

So happy to see Larry doing so well!

Looks like they had somebody fly out to Hawaii for a bit and get a bead on their set up. Tell you guys what, pass the hat a get me a round trip ticket and I'll right up a summery while I'm there

I'll volunteer to go and hold the clipboard. Anything I can do for the club....

I'll be the photographer for this trip.

I will be the guy asking a lot of questions, like when are we going to the reef to compare captivity vs. free?

Perhaps they don't get them to willingly get them to spawn... it could be how they do it with salmon... which is slightly disturbing to watch. Here's a link </a> .
