To continue off a recent comment. I don’t know about ORA, but I think someone is already captive breeding yellow tangs. A company in FL by the name of Biota keeps coming up.

Just wanted to show $90 is perfectly reasonable, availability since covid seems to have driven prices up due to supply and demand, Petco is usually cheaper than independent LFSs.
Sorry about being part of the derailment. Maybe someone can move the OT posts here and out of the sale thread.
No worries. I know everyone's comments were not to malicious, but it kinda hindered my sale. Lol.

Ya sorry about that. We kind of high jacked your thread lol. Well if nothing else it keep it up top so people know you have a tang for sale! :-D Someone buy this man's tang!
Yeah, let's hope they do not ignore since others sell for less. All well, guess we will see.

Yeah, I totally agree! Yellow tangs are hot items! Someone will take it
I was also pointing out that in the current times the price is inline. At the beginning of the year I'd'a thought you were on crack... lol
Lol, I agree. Even if it’s not the cheapest, It’s totally reasonable.
I’d say the price seems to be fluctuating between $40-60 over the last couple months... more and more it trends towards $60 and there are many places online that are posting for $80-90 now.

But yeah, I think Biota is breeding them. So that’s an awesome first step!
Thank you @Shawn & @ActiveAngel for cleaning the sale thread.

I've noticed it - and the lateral line typically is more pronounced. But I'd totally buy captive bred if they were available, regardless of price. Same with any tang, really.
That’s good to know!
To stay optimistic; at least this is a step in the right direction! I’m sure others will get them to breed eventually, and we can widen the genetic pool.

Getting tangs to breed is very difficult. If you've seen any TV shows that have footage you'll know why. I'm surprised anyone has been able to do it.
I wonder if they are able to milk the males and females to fertilize the eggs outside the tank.

A Series of Unfortunate Events, with Jim Carrey, is an underrated movie IMO. He is a riot... plus Meryl Streep and Billy Connolly are always great!
A number of years ago 40-60 was the range. Now 60 is a good deal. Its impossible to get small ones anymore due to the nonsense restrictions they put in place in Hawaii. That means that on top of a reduced a supply the supply is also mostly bigger tangs. I seem them going for 80 pretty regularly nowadays

Back in the 90’s, I worked at a hardware store in a rich neighborhood. I visited a sister store about 9 miles away in an average neighborhood. The same item at the sister store was a lot cheaper then that same item at my store. It opened my eyes at an early age to shop at the average neighborhood store.
