    As a fish hobbyist this kinda makes me sad. Thats why I dont keep cichlids wild caught, they become too high in demand and risk over fishing them.

    • @Gambit58
      @Gambit58 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Not really an issue that this type of collecting will decimate the population. Remember that people fish for food in the lake and they kill 100 times as many and these fish will hopefully live and breed for generations in the hobby.

    • @kingimage01
      @kingimage01 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wrong, it is an issue. The number of fish being caught mainly for the aquarium trade is having a serious effect on fish populations in the lake. Do some research.

    • @Gambit58
      @Gambit58 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@kingimage01 I've been in the hobby probably longer than you've been alive so you do the research. Lake Tanganyika with variations of populations existing in very limited areas is much more sensitive to this than Lake Malawi. If you're arguing that the hobby is taking more fish than the local fisherman take daily in lake Malawi you are as clueless as you sound.

      They are metriaclima zebra 👍 The OB gene is natural in several mbuna species, the OB peacocks and haps are hybrids mixed with mbuna that carry the OB gene = man made.

    A Precious net. They tear so easily. Shipped only from Europe. 5mm mesh. Some fish are too small to capture even with this small mesh. Reason is one of them. Much smaller then one can see in aquarium trade these days. I had to fold the net over in order the entangle it enough to secure it.
