yup must agree with u..let the scientist do all the research and collection...but the point is.... if the breeders had not mess around with the real stuff,...aquarist wouldnt had made demands for wild stuff.
the reason u dont see is ...not everyone apperciate selective breeding or hybrids.
one thing u all must know...i rather have a tank bred pure strain than a wild one...why? if u been in the cichlid world long enough u would know why...and its not about preserving mother nature.

[Whoopee]

Hey Ari,

hi ari,
glad we agree about something other than liking wild strains...

but please explain what you mean by the above statement as i've not been deep enough into the african cichlid world[i assume you mean that as discus, angelfish are also cichlids] as i'd like to understand your point of view.

regards

my F1 RSG is breeding already. well, domesticated wild. show u some pics later

simple... quite a number of wild fishes comes with dieases, some which we dont even understand. most tank bred fishes especially the 2nd or 3rd generation will have stronger immune system to local conditions.
but the most important thing is will wild fishes survive their new surroundings in a tank? a really big risk to take for an expensive fish. after all we cant compare ourselves to jack watley..hahaha

ie ...wild angel fish is known to be diease infested, mix with local fish ie the clown loach...u will end up with all sort of problems... local fishes have no immune system to fight foreign dieases

Hey BT, not to forget yourself those pictures you had taken during all your recent underground trips to Penang and Taiping etc....not to mention we are still waiting for your precious pictures in this month's contest also, ok!

hmmm,

well quarantining fish is always important for new fish[wild or hybrid]...just a drop of contaminated water and your whole setup is screwed...
