- In today's episode Taras give us everything we need to know about captive bred tangs! We discuss the important environmental impacts breeding yellow, purple, blue, and other tangs have on our ecosystems, the scientific research and understandings that allowed these fish to be bred in captivity, and how these innovations have led to lower costs for hobbyists and new hybrid species being created for the world to marvel at!

Great video I'm glad they're praised even though they proved it was totally sustainable to take a while hot ones and I think some people years ago did a little better and caring for them and you're giving them credit for but great video
Absolutely love that we’re figuring out ways to breed these beautiful fish instead of taking them away from the oceans they come from. The hobby will be able to continue adding these fish to their tanks while keeping the ecosystem healthy in the wild!
It's important we maintain the health of our oceans! Sustainable aquaculture is the future no doubt! Why we preach it here at our farm!

Where can I get all the information on the process for yellow tang fish to spawn, collection, hatching, growth, feeding, equipment, water parameters? Is there any document that I can acquire? Thank you, best regards.
The price hike is not a bad thing it sets the tone to not go all willy nilly and impose buy
This was a bit difficult to watch. Constructive feedback would be to slow down a bit, lower the hand movements, and watch some of the parts you repeat.
Taras! This is exactly what you were telling me the other week in a very simplified way - look at what’s in front of you; take the time to learn about it; care that it’s a living organism, and be a good steward of it’s success. (My non-scientific words)
This is probably the most powerful video you have done to date. It translates to pretty much everything reefing and any other living thing on this planet. We can do better, as long as we are willing to SEE what is in front of us and not rush to the next 3 second Instagram moment.
Great video Taras! I think people often forget and take for granted how lucky we are to keep these animals in our homes. It's very sad that saltwater fish seem to get the short end of the stick. People need to care as much for their fish as they do for their dog or cat. Keep up the great work!
Well said! Love the passion Taras brings to the team and channel here at TSA! Thanks for stopping by!

May I have your email address?
And this guy gives me engsaety

Love your enthusiasm
So I use to get a yellow for around $50 here in North Carolina 12 to 15 years ago. Now they are 299 to 350. Exactly how can you say that they will be affordable. I know the process is expensive but dang some of us saltwater hobbyists are not millionaires. The prices just keep going up and the people interested keep going down because of price. Not only the fish but every piece of equipment that goes with saltwater. I see a day coming when the everyday people say screw this get our kids some guppies and move on. I have saltwater tanks but it’s getting too expensive to maintain. If you compare a used car to a reef tank or fish only I’m sure the most common response is BS TO THE TANK. The hobby has got to stop price gouging and help the newcomers. I don’t want to start with the cost of equipment.
I’m in NC. You are dead right on the money. All the fish were less and its bs that tank raised will cost less. I will not pay 400 for a yellow or 900 for a gem. Don’t get me started on coral…… 30 dollars for one zoa????? Bull sh1t.
Liked the video
I remember when yellow tangs were $9.99 and usually used for tank cycling. back in the 80's
i really want to have a salt water aquarium but its hard to find protein skimmer and salt water lights in my country.
7 minutes in and thoroughly impressed.
Glad you’re enjoying the content! Taras takes it to a different level and I appreciate that so much about him!

Man, these aquatics are top shelf
Agreed!

Captive bred never look as good as the wild caught...
I disagree. With proper diet the yellows are exactly the same as the wild caught ones from years ago.
Hikari seaweed extreme is a great product for a pellet food.
With proper diet and care we have seen many many biota yellows come in and turn to look like their wild counterparts in our farm systems!

All depends on food.
Good video, maybe less of the scientific names dont think anyone cares about the specifics
It's not like we're African cite people lol 😝
I completely disagree
I love the scientific names.
I definitely appreciate the scientific names.
I can tell this dude love his job 😅
