Hi bro,

If i am considering to start-up a marine tank that's environmentally friendly, is it possible?

Is there any fish or corals that people already able to reproduce commercially? rather than taking it from the wild?

Breeding of marine fishes is much much separate story from fresh water fishes. The time and effort taken are not worth much of a profit. To date as I know of, Some commerical @ U.S tried breeding Crown fish and in local, only banggai is tried and proven to be successful with lot of effort.

I think only overseas suppilers can provide aquacultured fish and corals. Of course prices will be few times higher. In S'pore, some reefers may have coral frags to sell from time to time.

I think that would involve lot of money & time to research this topic so very unlikely anyone want to do that.
