      If you don't overfish it helps the echosystam beccause people living there catch fish instead of palm farming.

      They are also breeder and surely have license for collecting.
      Which will help the hobby with the new genes that will enter the market.
      Everythings came from the wild its just that this is for the health of the fish in the hobby
      Inbreeding cause a lot of modern problem on our fish in the trade

    Hi Aquarium Co-Op! I'm SO nervous today to do my first-ever medical treatment for all of my beautiful fishes! Including an elephant nose, which they say they are rather delicate with medications!
    SO nervous! Planning on using the Aquarium Co-Op method...and will be spending the day setting up for the week-long quarantine in my planted 55 , gathering all my fish together for the event, 8 adult and countless fry guppies, 3 discus, 4 Ottos, 2 clown Plecos, and 5 corries...I hope nobody dies! I'll put in an airstone, all my fish and medicate all...
    because one of my 3 discus is not growing at all. after 2 months he's still the size of a half-dollar, while the other two grew to 3 inches. Hope he is able to grow after this and there are no casualties. leaving ceramic rings in the filter - any last words of support welcomed before I add the meds later today.
    So scared!
