yellow tangs

[loui]

yellow tangs and other Hawaii fishes just got a lot harder to get, if you where planning on picking something up do it now. Who knows how long the stoppage may be for.

What other fish are expected to be effected?

 

[loui]

not sure how credible this list is, but gives an idea of what fish may be affected. strangely the yellow tang isn't on the list, so who knows.

Up for sale is a pair of Hawaii tangs.

One yellow tang raised from small juvenile and is now for inches and 2 years old.

One is an achilles tang, eats like a pig. 1 year in my 225g, bought as adolescent, probably 2 to 3 years old.

Both now banned.

Will sale as a pair only.

Bidding starts at $6,462.00

^^^^That was a joke......mostly...

I would say the big ones are yellow tang, potters angel, chevron tang, flame wrasse. Yellow tangs are collected outside of Hawaii as well, so they will still be around, but I expect the price to go up significantly
