If you find a good place to get tank raised pairs let me know.

Aqua Oceans in Toms River has tank-raised ones. Just to warn you, they aren't cheap, but the one I bought a while back is doing fabulously.

Better paying an extra $20-25 than leading to their extinction. As marine aquarists, we could certainly be responsible in this case if we continue to buy wild caught ones. We don't need the bad press.

This is one fish that should never be purchased wild caught at this point. It is just completely irresponsible. Good for you all to be purchasing the tank raised variety. Hopefully it will hit the endangered list soon so that it can stop being overfished.

Aquatic Obsessions has some ORA Bangai's in stock.

Yep, this is the one fish, hobbyists are certainly responsible for it's endangered status. And knowing the media, if it goes extinct or continues to dwindle in numbers, we'll be to blame for all marine fish who are endangered.
