Except all the collectors, exporters, importers, and LFS would all go out of business. Not to mention we would all be limited to the fish currently in captivity.
I do think that it is too easy for hobbyists to acquire wild caught fish.
LFS need to get on the boat too and start having separate systems for captive bred species so that the fish can actually be marketed the way they should be - as disease free! Most LFS just put the captive bred fish in with wild caught and they pick up diseases from the wild caught fish. Kinda makes a moot point. Albeit captive bred fish always feed better, and stress less.
