I had a long chat with Nico of freshwaterstingray.nl who is of the opinion that soon there will be a global ban on the trade of any wild caught animals, including fish. When you hear all the bad news about climate change, deforestation, over-fishing, pollution, etc., etc., it is believable.
A few years ago black rays, Siamese Tiger Fish D.Pulcher, or Fly River Turtles could be purchased. No longer. Maybe it is a good thing that we are moving towards captive breeding of most aquarium fish. Unfortunately there will be some fish that we find are just too hard to breed and so they will disappear from the hobby. I see that happening with the the Siamese Tiger Fish (D.Pulcher).
Another fish I wonder about would be the Tigrinus Catfish. And what of the flagtail prochilodus ? Anyone know if they are being captive bred?
Also, anyone have a list of wild-caught fish you'd like to keep? I know I want to get some Birchirs for sure, and maybe some really nice Geophagus sp. Who knows, maybe even try to get them to breed? lol
