    It’s great to know that wild caught hobby fish is being done sustainably. Videos like this make me a more knowledgeable hobbiest.

    Most excellent Alex. Greatly enjoy this type of videos. Knowing more about our fish, history, trade, and environment are a benefit to all. Just hope with all the renewed illeagal mining it doesn't destroy anymore waterways. Hope all has been good at your end, and your tank looks AWESOME!!!
    Thanks Alex. 👍

    From the comments I've learn , you are - Alex . So , hi Alex from Alex ! It looks like you have an experience of working as a teacher , otherwise I can't explain your perfect diction . The video was nice done , but with unexpected , honestly surprises showing some fishes [ discus , angels ] with fin rot and little holes above an eye [ discus ] . I've learned with my fish , that only week one's can not tolerate the environment , where they live . So , logically , I would not take those guys who are already wick from their own habitats and put them in our [ swamps ]. Whatever the best we will do , they are still wick . Some fishes are amazing , how to get them ? I will buy some .

    I breed Discus and Angels, I would love some of the wild striped varieties of Discus.
    Striped Discus are almost impossible to find.
    Any link to purchase some, even though Discus are the ultimate _insert cusswords here_ of SA Cichlids, I love them.

    • @glub9075
      @glub9075 8 дней назад

      @@keepmoving.3043 some aquarium trade fisheries use dangerous fishing methods such as cyanide (these are mostly saltwater fisheries though), using nets can be stressful for the fish but it is the least dangerous/harmful method. Also the amount that they take from the wild is no where near enough to do damage to any wild fish populations. Fish that are caught for aquariums are the minority, most are caught to eat and those are much less humane and are often detrimental to the fish species/environment. So, aquarium related fish collecting isn't something to be worried about, it's the food industry that is harmful.
