- Join Joleen and Jeff Turner in this quest to deliver the first-ever aquaculture Copperband Butterflyfish, Chelmon Rostratus, to different beautiful reef aquariums around South Florida. With the efforts of Rising Tide Conservation, Sea World and the Indian River Research and Education Center led by Dr. Cortney Ohs, the team of Reef Aquaria Design was able to give these amazing striped fish a new home. They have never seen live rock or any other fish species or animals, so this surely will be a very interesting experience! Enjoy!

Love this and I'd gladly pay a premium for it just to support the effort and have a hardier fish that isn't as picky of an eater.
Total game changer for the hobby.
In another decade CBBs may be an easy fish to keep because of people like you.
That's amazing. Hopefully these do a lot better than the wild caught ones.
We hope so too!
Promoting sustainability is a key to the success of this hobby!!! Awesome what Courtney is doing. Where did number 6 go? My house lol?
We don't talk about number 6! Haha, just kidding! The last is going to a new aquarium tomorrow in Key Largo! Cortney's work is great and a very important conservation effort. Thanks for the support!
@@ReefAquariaDesign_ lol👍
I was so emotional when I received one of the first Tank Born, Yellow Tangs in Canada from Quality Marine. Still have it in my shop display. That was also possible sponsored by Boyd "Jeff"!
Can't wait for Copper-bands.
Glad to hear you still have it! Hopefully, we'll be able to have more captive-bred species soon!
Wow Amazing!!! Amazing how the reefing community has come so far and it's a good thing for those in the hobby !! Awesome video like always can't wait to see updates on this!
It is amazing indeed! Thank you for the support!!
Its amazing back in the day a Copperband would never go in a aquarium unless it was a year old or more.
Rising Tide Conservation, Sea World, and the Indian River Research and Education Center are making it possible to have a Copperband Butterflyfish in aquariums. We invite you to watch our video about it.

That’s awesome
This beautiful wild caught fish is so hard to acclimate that this is really a very good news and hope.
Right? We are very excited!
Good work! Now we just need this with the yellow tang and yellow eyed Kole tang!
Right? Maybe they'll do it soon!
This is pretty big news!👍
Right? Thanks for the support!
Wow this is promising.
We think so too!
👍🏻👍🏻🐠
Thank you!
Amazing! My favorite fish that I have never owned. Always afraid to buy one due to poor survival rate in captivity. These should do much better, can’t wait to get one. Where do I get one from?
You can contact the Indian River Research and Education Center in the University of Florida. Maybe they can help you with more information.
You can try one out in my reef! Lol
Go GATORS!
would love to hear if any of them have been seen eating aptasia yet.
We'll keep you posted on that.
Anyway you can tell me where I can buy this? TY
You can find more information here

I'm gonna need a Webcam on this tank lolol
Yes! We want one too!

Hey, Brandon. Yes, all of them managed to adapt to their new habitats and are doing great. Thanks for asking.
@@ReefAquariaDesign_ do you know if they will be available for mass market purchase anytime soon
@@MTSportfishing That is the idea. When that happens we'll keep you informed.
Can you purchase these yet?
Not yet to be sold to the public. We'll keep you posted!
