i heard that the other day from the LFS, they said yellow tangs and a few others are gonna jump in price soon, i guess i better get em while there cheap huh? i guess thats good for the fish though, i dont want to see them over-harvested, especialy when they go to the tanks of owners who dont know how to keep fish, its for the best.

Yeah, i think it's about time research went into breeding some of the less willing species. Tank bred fish are a lot more suited for the aquarium environment and dont get stressed out as much.

I have heard about this as well from my LFS, They seem to think that this will pass and odds are Yellow Tang prices will sky rocket over $200 a piece.

Anytime something gets limited in numbers, gets regulated or the demand increases, so does the price. I not sure it will get that bad($200). Only time will tell.

That may be true, but likely enough for me my tank is too small and would be far overstocked to add one. So for all I care they could charge 1000 for them. I always check their prices against online prices and so far they beat them every time.
