I was just curious about this topic. Can tangs currently be tank bred or aquacultured? or, is this one of those animals whose captive breeding is still a mystery.

its is one of those that captive breeding is currently not possible..
i believe they are open water spawners, making captive breeding very difficult (currently not possible)

i seen a show where they were showing Convict Tangs. they showed how the female will sprint up about 20 ft and broadcast her eggs, then a group of males would be right behind her to broadcast their sperm. the main reason i believe theres currently no Tangs being captive breed is they need so much space to spawn. i have heard that some huge aquarium has had Tangs successfully spawn, but i have not seen any documented reports. would be cool to know the details if it did happen.
So what we should really do is build a huge huge huge Talking Reef funded aquarium and be the first successfully spawn Tangs in capticity and give one free to every Talking Reef member. :-)
