Fish on the "Red List"

[Jason McK]

I think anything that can be captive bred should be band form wild caught.

I've read that this was coming. It quite sad that they are in such poor numbers in the wild.

So Wendell get those breeder tanks fired back up

i agree with jason completely. Theres no point in wild caught if captive breeding of these guys is so easy.

Captive breeding makes for better fishy pets, too. You do not have to teach them how to eat processed foods or worry about diseases that may have been brought in from the wilds. You also do not have to get that "Find Nemo" guilty feeling of taking a fish out of the ocean and putting it into a small jail for the rest of its life. I am totally on board with this.

Very sad. Seems to me to be a no-brainer to go captive-bred with this species too.
