dave w March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 This is great news. Oceanic Institute has been working on this for several years and it's nice to see it come to fruition. Congrats to all the hard work done by Chad Callen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReefFrenzy March 11, 2016 Share March 11, 2016 I'm excited that we are hopefully going to see blue tangs captive bred in the near future. We'll be making another trip down to the Tropical Aquaculture Lab in Ruskin, FL for sure when that happens! Very exciting times for the hobby and all the researchers involved.

sethsolomon March 11, 2016 Share March 11, 2016 Apparently the ones they are selling have HLLE. Sounds like they need to cool it with the carbon on the breeding systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefFrenzy March 12, 2016 Share March 12, 2016 These fish were not exposed to carbon in the grow out system, so there seem to be other issues regarding water quality as possibly a contributing factor. We have been sending food and seaweed to OI and get frequent updates on the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keraxis March 12, 2016 Share March 12, 2016 I listen to reef threads podcast all the time. A few weeks ago they were talking about this batch with the people doing it. At the time they were still unsure and its good to see they made it. Now the question is.. can they repeat. One of the issues they were having is some batches would make it and others would not and they could not figure out why. Experiments went from water agitation.. salinity... food density.. lighting. The amazing part is that this starts with yellows and eventually makes it to all tangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengalaxy March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 That's pretty cool. I've never seen a yellow tang like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
