We are going to forgo the usual festivities today in favor of a much more momentous announcement. The First ever aquacultured Yellow Tangs are here. The elephant in the room is that some do show signs of HLLE like symptoms. (see photo) In person it is less pronounced than under brilliant aquarium lights. This is part of the early stage dietary challenges with captive rearing Zebrasomas. In due time, these early stage foods may be perfected, and the fish more common, thus allowing a stronger cull and a fully robust animal. For reference, in the wild over 90% of these would have been eaten or otherwise perished within the first year, making for a natural "cull." Regardless, they are amazing. Every single one has an individuality I love; I hope you all do too.
