The two I mentioned breed true captive bred dwarfs.
Sea life, apparently has wild caught rather than true captive bred.

thats correct but i didnt think with dwarfs it made a difference since they all still require life food. unless you are looking at the conservation aspect of wild species .

I think people have tried to list H. zosterae as threatened species, although it hasn't gone through. So, looking from a conservationist point of view might not be a bad idea for these little guys
