And when I was doing it, the prices kept going up!And i absolutely do not recomended a sw tank to anyone not totally committed to its upkeep. I set up a reef tank about 10 years ago and wish I hadnt,price,maintenance, etc, etc. I could have had another motorcycle for the money I have dumped in it.
You better believe it! The small angelfish I paid $1.49 for when I last kept them are now going for $14.99!And when I was doing it, the prices kept going up!
That's not true in many circumstances, quite a few of the more popular fish such as angelfish are all captive bred. The place I used to buy from had the majority of the fish coming from breeders. Where your statement is almost totally true is for sw fish. The ways they are caught are truly horrible with the use of cyanide to stun them.Problem with Tropical tanks is the fish that stock them are all wild caught because breeding programs cannot match the colours of wild caught fish .
Thats all well and good but the demand for them gets greater and greater each year .
