    Interested too. Usually if there's enough interest, people will sell them as pets than food.

    How many times you seen people selling giant gourami here as food? In Indonesia, it's a food fish.

    High demand also encourages captive breeding by the suppliers

    Yup, keeping them as pets generates awareness. Husbandry techniques also improves due to research being done by the suppliers in an attempt to cultivate them. Without a market for revenue, no one will want to pump in money for research. Just look at mussels, oysters, clown fish and sea horses

    hmmm~ dont agree with tat 100%.... conservation doesnt work out that way. they will not consider about their genetic variety, their proper habitat and the whole ecosystem balance..... all the supplier see is $$......

    mussel is even a threat due to overpopulation.... seahorse breeding technique is not mature too.... most of the seahorse in market are wild caught. then, they dont eat and die in aquarium........

    You are quite extreme right? Isnt education better than killing them? Or else what's the difference between you & them?
    More than ONE fish = Fish
    More than ONE species of fish = Fishes

    The most important thing is keep trying.
    You cannot teach all, but if you don't even try. Very thing will be like lonely George in due time.

    FYI, George is an 'now' extinct species of Galápagos tortoise.

    Hi Everyone

    The Malayan Box Turtle has been deemed endangered and the Malaysian authority together with WWF and IUCN are now monitoring the trade of this species.
