Thank you for posting this. I wish every hobbyist had to watch this before purchasing their first fish. I've been a retailer over 20 years & I've always purchased from wholesalers like this who bring in responsibly collected fish. We pay more for them (every hand that touches these fish have to be paid too!) & I'm happy to pay for fish I know will live not only in my facility but in the forever homes I sell them to. If only every retailer of these animals were made to be certified in healthy systems, trained in proper acclimation & care programs we'd see a much lower death rate. Though I'm a firm believer that the food industry is a much greater threat to our wild populations (notice how the dynamite was NOT used for the aquarium hobby in this video) & other industries like cruise lines & environmental threats like pollution, silt runoff from deforestation & more, we CAN keep these beautiful animals responsibly for many, many years. I recently donated a Desjardini Sailfin Tang to the New England Aquarium in Boston I personally owned 18 years because she outgrew my biggest tank - a 220g. My core business is aquaculturing soft corals grown from parent stock here on location but I augment it with everything reef safe, from fish to all kinds of inverts. I teach people how to setup my healthy system that kept my Sailfin (& many others) alive for so many years. I only sell what I use myself so others can expect the same results. My facility also serves as a visitor destination where they can sit on couches in front of my huge reef tanks. Many have never seen these animals alive in person. They leave me with a new awe & respect for our unseen ocean life which I hope leads to a better awareness of needing to protect them from environmental issues. Hobbyists need to stop buying by price or free shipping alone. You truly get what you pay for. Shopping from a retailer who cares like I do is your best chance for success... & the success of these little ones.
That’s pretty much what this channel is about giving the proper information to people so they can be aware and choose based on their knowledge and not rely on a biased retailer that’s looking for a quick sale our hobby is definitely advancing, we are aqua-culturing more and more fish, corals & inverts every year, these advancements are helping the hobby not rely on the wild reefs and helping them recover from bleaching etc,
a good responsable wholesaler/retailer is the way to go im glad you are taking that initiative keep up the good work
Good thing captive breed blue tangs are now available.
How do they breed blue tangs in captivity I heard it's almost impossible
It’s not impossible, they just can’t do it in a small aquarium they breed them in very large circular tanks with schools of pacific blue tangs
I have a captive bred blue tang.
@@ATF.California yeah bro you are right. Nobody can breed blue tangs unless they are ultra rich and can afford a private ocean.
Don't believe this. It's a scam
@@chriswoodruff2293 I don't think so bro. Check with the aquarium guy you bought from.
There is only so much you can do to imitate nature 😉
thank you for making this film, for reserving your judgement, and for allowing others to make up their own minds.
As long as its family friendly
everyone is entitled to their opinion
Doesn't your conscience speak at all?
Bro took finding dory to a whole new level
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! 🎶🎶
Thank you for posting this. It is important for people to see where their pets come from, so they have a better idea of how they can help us conserve the wild populations. Right now it is impossible to breed most Blue Tangs in captivity (although a select few facilities have managed it) so if you own one, it most likely came from the ocean. As we can see from the video some methods of doing this are more sustainable than others, but no matter how good your aquarium set up is it can never compare with the actual ocean. Blue Tangs also have a large migration that they undertake so it is very important for your pets to have a large area to travel in, which usually means tanks that are hundreds if not thousands of gallons large. Please keep all this in mind before purchasing one, or another species with a similar situation.
Dollie Rach completly false information i breed and sell blue tangs they are hard to breed but its far from impossible
Colchester, CT Pet sShop has a captive bred pacific blue tang
ALL DORY'S!!!😲😲😲
So many Dorys 😁😍❤️
Yeah XD
I am from Indonesia and saltwater hobbyists. After I watched this video, I feel sad that people doesn’t realize it takes long time for the fish to repopulate. Leave the fish alone and if people want to see the reefs, people can fly to Indonesia and dive to enjoy them. As a hobbyist, I make sure all my fish is captive breeding.
Eu na realidade prefiro peixes coletados na natureza porque eu acho eles muito bonitos
Totally agree. I only try top purchase tank bred fish for this reason. This hobby made me so aware of our impact on the planet and climate change. We need to stop depleting our resources and burning fossil fuels.
This is the way! Captive bred only!
If u have a blu tang it’s not captive bread. Hate to bust you’re bubble
I could not agree more. When are people going to learn that collecting fish from the wild is not the way to protect the planet.
but this does seem to be the least harmful way of sourcing wild fish, and if it brings money to the area, it does at least help stop the local people from resorting to dynamite fishing to earn money.
I live in indonesia, we have a lot of beautiful marine life but lack of people who care about it, sad but true,
Thats very true
Here in Philippines every thing is balance
@Christopher Wharton No need to be rude, not all of them are bad!😡
@Pierce -Aaron yea you guys have beautiful beaches 🏝
Sukurlah ente sadar bro
If only they didnt make a movie about dori... so many blue hippo tangs wouldn't die......
This video is nice of me to learn English. Thank you very much.
THANK YOU for posting and sharing and educating others.
My respect to Dr. Alex Ploeg, his wife and their son. I'm Dutch, just like them. MH17 had a huge impact on our nation.
Amazing video.After watching the fish tough journey:they are heroes and deserve best care we can provide.
Amen from a fellow reefer!
Andrew Teng I disagree we shouldn’t get those animals from their wild environment make them a captive in our tanks.
Amazing video, it helps us the owners to know more about our fish and to be more conscious about them
I didn't realize even some of these reef fish migrate.
I'll keep this in mind when collecting fish.
I love Germany and Indonesia!, 💕💖💕💖
With out the hobby humans would care even less about the oceans. And we know what that means, far more dead animals! Respect the efforts of all these people to make a living and fulfill a need. Great work on the video.
9:10 wow that’s an awesome tradition. How cool.
Nemo doesn't fancy this idea....at all
Geez. The way they are handled its amazing any survive at all. I only recently learned that few marine species are captive bread the rest are just captive... Cyanide explains high mortality rates.. Lol
Beautiful fish and video in general. Liked and Subscribed.
Very informative m I really enjoyed this.
Thank you
Very cool.
Nice, my tank isn't big enough for a Blue Tang, but I will be adding a Yellow in a few weeks.
Thank you for making this video, it was quite interesting.
melevsreef omg I love your videos
i enjoyed the video and wish to visit indonesia the exporter place..
As a hobbyist about to start my very first saltwater tank, my hope is to have at least 2/3 of my fish captive bred and for 100% captive bred corals. I can easily get captive bred clowns (Ocellaris, Percula, Tomato, Cinnamon, Clarkii, Fire etc.) even in China, and I hope that my LFS will have the imported ORA Yellow and Randall’s or McNeill’s Assessors. If I go for something like a Flame Angel, I would much prefer one collected in Hawaii or Polynesia / Melanesia as they’ve got higher survival rates than the ones collected in Indonesia and Philippines.
I am all for the captive breeding of eventually most or all marine fish species, because though I love the hobby I also want to preserve our planet’s coral reefs. There are many saltwater fish collected in Indonesia and the Philippines using cyanide. Great countries with great people but they’re the devil when it comes to the saltwater hobby. Sure there are some who argue that we should not implement total captive breeding, and that there should be a place for wild-caught fish as they provide a living for people in certain coastal communities of those countries, but as selfish as this sounds, their livelihood’s not my foremost concern. It’s their country and their government’s job, my wish as a hobbyist is just to make sure that I and my fellow hobbyists in the mean time (and the future) get the best and healthiest specimens possible.
If captive breeding does indeed strip them of their jobs, then too bad. Again, that’s not my concern. My concern are the fish and the coral reefs, those collectors who use cyanide and other poor methods should be stopped using whatever means possible. Whatever happens to their lives is their country’s president’s job, not mine. Again. I just care about my livestock and that of my fellow hobbyists.
I’m all for captive breeding across the world.
I’m totally willing to pay more for a piece of livestock if it was captive bred or collected using better methods. We all have a responsibility for creatures under our care. If anything, these little fish may not reach their maximum lifespans in the ocean due to predators and our destruction of coral reefs.
amazing video
Beautiful Clown fish
Finding Dory
Such beautiful animals
The fishing with dynamite just pisses me off, it's the restaurants and morons that sell and eat it causing the problem. Look at all those plastic bags, having traveled to that part of the world I know how they "manage" waste...
This is why I hate fancy people
Agree. Completely against cyanide and dynamite fishing.
Although collection methods and education have improved considerably, it is still a shame what these wild caught fish and other organisms endure on their long and arduous journeys to our tanks. Many do not make it. I am all in favor of captive breeding programs.
Agreed
AndyMahnFL411 to be honest though fishes in captive breeding have to came from somewhere originally and that somewhere is the ocean so technically they were still imported from oceans
Agree
The idea is to reduce the reliance on harvesting from the ocean. But then again - who needs dogs, cats, birds and fish for pets when we can have free range spiders, mice, roaches, silverfish and flies around the house for our pleasure instead..
@@nanoaddicts3507 thats was classic haha
The enthusiasm on the narrator blows me away, haha
Lol it was 6 in the morning
Excellent video
Captive bred will usually survive better anyway, It's not a good idea to take from the wild unless you're doing it for breeding purposes. But fish taken from the wild will often not get used to captivity and refuse to eat as well as get sick.
Great video!
Nice job
great video
What beautiful fish they are in the ocean! It broke my heart a little whenever I saw all of the baby blue tangs in the net and all of the other fish but I just can’t feel like being hopeless because even though there is options to buy in captive breeding I don’t think everyone knows about it. But the public whenever they want something they’ll get it without knowing the consequences.
The baby blue tangs were raised in that net they never lived in the open ocean
Our Coral Reef wow ☹️
After watch finding nemo I feel sad to see them get taken away from their homes
Nemo (clownfish) are no longer being taken from the wild they are mostly bred in captivity
Out of 500-1000 eggs maybe 2 survive to adulthood in the wild taking eggs and having breeding programs is the sustainable way to do it
Thank you very very much for sharing all that beneficial information on what is involved, so now I have even more knowledge thank's to you.
I truly enjoyed watching that. Thank you. :)
Thank you.
I have Subscribed to your channel and liked the Video.
like this video start and finish. indonesia was beatiful island.
Great video...
Leave them in the ocean
In German language:
Salzwasser-Aquarianer haben ein wunderschönes und sehr teures Hobby. Weiters müssen auch die Fischer in Indonesien von etwas leben und somit ist einer nachhaltigen und kontrollierten Entnahme und dem Export von exotischen Lebewesen nichts entgegenzusetzen! Es ist wesentlich besser traditionell von Hand und mit Netz gefangene Fische zu exportieren und damit dem Dynamitfischen und dem Fischen mit giftigen Substanzen als Einnahmequelle den Boden zu entziehen!
Die größten Umweltzerstörer sind wir, die Bürger und die Industrie in Europa und den USA!
Auf einen Inselstaat gibt es nunmal sehr wenige Möglichkeiten sich sein tägliches Brot zu verdienen und essen müssen auch die indonesischen Fischer und ihre Familien!
Es ist immer leicht und vor allem sehr bequem über andere den Stab zu brechen, vor allem, wenn man im Wohlstand und sozialer Sicherheit in seinen komfortablen Fernseh-Chefsessel sitzt.
Wären unsere industriellen Fischfangflotten nicht mit Lizenzen korrupter Regierungen vor fremden Küsten unterwegs und würden den einheimischen traditionellen Fischern mit kleinen Booten die Grundlage ihrer eigenen Existenz entziehen, hätten diese Fischer Brot und Lohn und die Piraterie könnte etwas mehr eingedämmt werden. Industriestaaten mit solch zweifelhaften Fischereilizenzen sind ebenfalls Piraten!
Matt Niven l
Leave your cats and dogs in the wild!
People are making great strides in captive breeding programs and coral propagation because the animals have value. If we weren't importing them, their only value would be for food and they would quickly be wiped out like the guy in the beginning blasting the reef with dynamite.
@@maddawgzzzz Cats and dogs are not wild
Very good video.. and imotinal video
Aquarium hobby plz make a video on reef tank...🙏🙏
We will be making a new build series soon make sure to subscribe so you get notified when the videos are available
Okk
anyone notice that a guy was writing on a clipboard underwater?
This is the real life version of finding dory lol
tolles Video
I like like how the one guy just bare handed a lionfish like me a boss.
I was thinking the same thing
Careful with the barbs
vwpower18 me too
Wow what a great insight..Thank you for bringing this over to us hobbyists...With your due permission is it ok if i share it on my channel for exact same cause of spreading awareness and how lucky we hobbyists are to have these pearls in our reef tanks....
Sorry but I don’t have the permission to give others to share it
I'm surprised anything survives being stuck in a bag that long
My yellow mimic tang probably went through this. It’s sad to see, I can’t imagine how stressful it was for him. My tank will never be his natural home. He’s such a character. I take care of him the best I can. I really hope more species can be tank bred to stop this.
Life story of fishes from ocean to fish tank.
good
Finding Ashima
They better pay these people good since they getting my fish
I'm planning on getting a saltwater tank and I'm only getting captive bred fish.
i liked the video but i never got to see the blue tang in an aquarium at the end..
I'm just glad that this company takes extra steps to prevent capturing fish with cyanide. What is the companies website, I cant find them on google, would love to buy from these guys rather than my LFS since they are super expensive.
They are wholesalers and they don’t sell to the public
Besides you would need to apply for import permits and if you are buying over 7 you would need a importing license
There are some online companies that purchase sustainably call them and see how they are purchasing sustainably
ahhh okay yea that makes sense, thanks for the info.
nice video, i went straight ahead and subbed
i was also wondering if i can purchase some of these fish
Im sorry but we don’t sell them
so do you know which website they sell them?
well i am in Guam which is a territory of
the US. so i am looking for international shipments
1:26 Nemooo😍
My country Indonesia, Sulawesi. 😊
😍😍
Catch me that clownfish and lion fish dude
Hi im from Indonesia And i like This video 😍
I want to be that one blue tang That gets made fun off and bullyed but im the first tang out of the ocean into some crazy persons 1000 gallon long reef tank
Let it go now
Dory will be hard to find their way back home LOL ;( sad...................
Ohh ; iam a filipino .. we got 3 Lion fish in our aquarium .. hope fish catchers wont do illegal fishing
Dory family
1:29 what species of clownfish is it?
Do they know the bags need air?
can't believe they took adults though :,( i would never buy an adult wild caught fish for my tank thats so cruel
I agree
It is mentioned in the video that taking larger fish is taboo and not common they were shooting a film for a German tv channel so they showed the proper way of catching a fish (no cyanid dynamite etc)
Rip.doc
6:34 sketchy way to handle the product. Lmao
Anyone else wonder how the diver was writing underwater at the beginning?? lol
When these Indonesia treat fish better than fish shops
When is clam season coming?
do the long journey will effect the survive rate of the fishes ??
Yes the less time they spend in a bag the better
Even though they have breathable bags these days shipping should be as fast as possible
Thanks for your work and great video.
Our common hobby is wonderful, because each of us, while preserving a small part of the sea world, gives, albeit a scanty chance, not to lose this beauty of nature.
Good luck in your difficult business.
Like and subscribe from me, we get bigger.
This is definitely not right at all
how come no one asked what the narrator was smoking? i sure would like some lol
and all those plastic bags!
but great video, i always prefer anything aquacultured/captive bred over maricultured over wild caught. we can make a difference by voting with our wallets!
Lol
a very tired narrator
All the long hours editing
Shame it came out like that but there will be more
You should have left all of them in his remembrance ..
What are the fish at 14:14 called?
1 billion Dorys
Those fish were doa
How many fish are you able to catch at a time with that net?
Most sustainably caught fish are caught one by one then transferred to a bucket or bag
The typical way to catch fish is to drop a net around the fish you are targeting and scare them into it they get tangled in the net you remove them and but them into the bucket
The fish caught with the net was to show how to sustainably catch fish without Cyanide or other damaging practices
Ok! What an interesting skill to be able to catch each individually. Glad to see they are being treated carefully and in an environmentally friendly way
Please look for ways to breed Indonesia beautiful marine fish. Could you build new big coral reef. Or you can see fish at sea using sub marine of Genting Dream Cruise. We are ready at North Bali. My hobbies is breading beautiful Lovebird.
The hobby is providing new projects every year walt smith project building many new reefs with coral from the hobby
This my fish,
My fish name si fishey
next time , please make video from your aquarium to the ocean :D
That is very dangerous
Lookup lion fish in Florida
the cause is because someone put their pets in the ocean
I’ve been in the hobby for a few years now, I’ve only brought tank breed fish.. leave the poor tangs in the sea where they look more beautiful, buy tank breed people, it will support the breeders who breed the fish but more importantly the ecosystems of our beautiful oceans..
Do you supply in ndia?
I am not a Supplyer or Seller just make videos
Don’t they need like a really large and wide swimming area?
As they grow yes the bigger they are the bigger swimming area they need
Ok
What type of clownfish is at 1:30?
Juvenile Maroon Clownfish
Maroon I have one in my tank
This is my big question there are many fishes introduced into aquariums from sea to oceans to tanks at home.
But why the aquariums industry are not making beautiful sea shells and its different varieties into aquariums. Yes there are but only a few which are used only for cleaning crew. Yes, but there are beautiful sea shells of different colours and shapes and sizes and various designs which we put into homes as souveniers but imagine putting these creatures or introducing them into aquariums would be very good business. Because these shells are so nice. I always look for these shells if they are available in aquariums but no, only a selected fews are available. This is so sad. Why are these not introduced???? Is my question.
0:46 is that a human skull?
