Tank-Raised Fish are wild-collected in their larval stage but raised in captivity. The obstacle to breeding these fish in captivity is they all go through a very short - but crucial - pre-larval (pelagic) stage just after hatching that is very difficult to support. Instead, these fish are collected in their more established larval stage and raised to their hardier juvenile form at an aquaculture facility. The resulting fish still share all of the benefits of being raised within captivity and are accustomed to captive life and prepared foods, making them ideal for the home aquarium
I would think this is much more difficult to do the CB wouldn't it ?
