Are these species available tank bred?


I'm trying to get as many of my fish tank bred as possible and am having trouble findings sources for some. Does anyone know if you can get the following tank bred? Any dwarf angels, foxface, purple tang. Any tank bred sources for other fish appreciated also. In the research phase of stocking my tank. Thanks

I think there are efforts to raise some of these from the Planktonic Stages....however, the captive spawning cycles are very private and requires too much room and water to reproduce on a constant level.

You're unlikely to find any of those fish as captive bred. There are only a few captive bred fish that are readily available (clowns, damsels, cardinals, to name most of them). As mentioned by salt-rookie, it's impractical to setup breeding facilities to captive breed those fish you're looking for, and it's not well understood either.

There are a few entities playing with larval rearing of some fishes, and captive breeding of some of the centropyge species angels, but it's very limited that I'm aware of.

No Foxfaces or Tangs that I'm aware of.
