Reply To: Starting over…
Yep i agree, get around 10 fish with an even mix of male and female, If you are serious about breeding them then go for whatever you can get. It is better to take a few from the wild and multiply them by 100 in captivity than not owning any at all.
The only time i dont agree with wild caught fish is when they are bought purely for decoration and the owner has no intention of breeding them.
For as long as this fish is still in decline in the wild we are still responsible for the captive breeding and spread of captive stock. If i was closer i would send you some, ill keep my eye open for canadian stock that can be posted…
