How do you captive-breed one of the most iconic tangs in the reef aquarium hobby? Kyle sits down with Kevin Barden from Surge Marine Life to talk through the entire process behind captive-bred Purple Tangs, including broodstock quarantine, egg disinfection, larval rearing, feeding, and growing these fish for the aquarium trade. They also explain why pelagic-spawning tangs are so much more challenging to raise than fish like clownfish, how aquaculture can provide a consistent year-round source, and what reefers should know about feeding and acclimating a captive-bred Purple Tang
