Default Environmental point of view

So if they stop collecting them in a country it probably means they are not doing so great. Maybe you should consider not getting one.

I know everyone likes rare fish and hates seeing environmental degradation so how bout stepping up on taking responsibility.

But illegal collection will still happen if we show that there is a demand for these fish. I agree with jslaney on this one.

but whats the point in leaving them in the wild if the problem is habitat destruction. Would they not be better off in captive breeding programs? Especially when there is few people breeding them in the first place.
