    Fishermen are fast on their way to destroying stocks of Puntius denisonii. Scientists reckon captive-breeding wont reduce the pressure on wild stocks, so is our only option is to stop buying this species?, asks Matt Clarke.

    Something to be aware of, not just for this fish but for all.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Hi guys,

    I just returned from another India-expedition and I gave a talk in Chennai on native Indian fishes (finalizing a book on INDIA Ornamental Fishes by Heiko Bleher, very similar to my Bleher's Discus volume 1) and I had standing ovation when I proffed them wrong that P. denisonii is NOT endagered at all.

    This was just a "want to get known" move of someone who is no on. And the author of the paper publish with that has not even reserached many habitats, just 3 river basins, and I did 27 of them and they ar abundant.

    Only P. chalakkudyensis is endemic to only one river.

    Besides: In Indonesia they are breeding already 10,000 monthlòy and in Malaysia also many.

    Best regards from a colelctor and author, discoverer and photographer, lecturer and scientist,
