The number of ailing fish, or tangs alone that we see at the local shops is staggering. There is one small reef shop here that kills an amazing number of fish weekly, perhaps half of each shipment. These animals are consumables, and therefore are replenished weekly for sale. I don't know what the average lifespan is once the fish is sold and taken home, but I'm sure it would be disheartening.

The money required to "rescue" all these would be impressive, and I doubt all our tanks would be sufficient to hold them. :(
