Reef Threads Podcast #78

LiveAquaria is an excellent source for tank-raised marine fish.

We’re talking fish this week with Kevin Kohen, director of Drs. Foster and Smith LiveAquaria. Our discussion covers several subjects, including tank-bred fish in general, breeding and raising Banggai cardinal fish, the impact of tank-raised fish on people in third-world countries, why hobbyists in the U.S. should buy tank-raised fish, supply-chain length, and Papua New Guinea. Our thanks to Kevin for taking the time to speak with us and we hope you’ll gain some insight into what produces a healthy fish for your aquarium.
