Most in the stores are still wild caught
Unless the store says captive breed I would assume that they are wild
I would recommend sticking with a pair as any more and you are probably asking for trouble
I personally have over 30 as I am trying to breed them
In my experience, more than a pair and the numbers slowly dwindle due to aggression

That is good to know, I have only seen them marked as wild caught or not marked at all, I assumed wrongly. Thank you

There are limited numbers of captive bred banghai breeders around which is why most of the banghais in stores are still wild caught
I know that big ALS in edmonton has had limited success in breeding them and sells the offspring occassionally

Thanks for the advice.
I will need to give this some more thought.
