      Nice. I have yet to see these, as public aquariums normally don't exhibit pet trade fish (except for clownfish, blue tangs, and a few other populars).

      Almost every fish you see at a public aquarium comes from the pet trade.

      That's not what I'd been told. While most fish are indeed wild caught, I was under the impression that the aquariums caught the specimens themselves (of hired a company to do so). My point was that species which are common in the pet trade are rare in aquariums, and vice versa. This is especially for aquariums I have visited. I monitor the fish trade quite frequently- garden eels and flamboyant cuttlefish are just making it into the pet trade (at ridiculous prices) but I've seen them in aquariums for quite a while now. Oh well, perhaps it is the difference of location.
