    Hi guys i was wondering if anyone can advise me on the differences in fish wild caught vs tank bred?
    what are the pros and cons of fishkeeping?
    as well as the ethical considerations?
    i know the crazy way they bring wild caught frontosa out of the depths and thats not cool, but anyone have any other opinions they would like to share?
    anyone wos kept both wild caught and tank bred and seen behaviour differences?

    Some differences... I've kept wild caught cichlids and captively-bred cichlids, and not only is the colour better, but they are much better parents and seem to grow to a much better size.

    I've said everything else I needed to say on this thread.
