I started fish keeping with freshwater and most of those fish were live bearers. When I switched to salt I just assumed that the fish were bread in captivity. I felt terrible when I bought a copperband and it died the next day. LFS said "well that happens when you scoop fragile fish out of the ocean and fly them here in a bag. Not all survive." I was heart sick. That never occurred to me.
Now I buy from a reputable store, choose fish that are captive bread if possible and am learning to choose fish that have a good chance of survival. That's been a hard lesson.
While I don't like the idea of Wild caught, I think if we have responsible practices and healthy tanks, that lessens my personal guilt. Guess I still feel conflicted...
