I've heard a lot about this little fish, and was considering setting up a tank for a smll group of them - then I read the following

Being overfished almot to extinction. Anyone know if this is still the case? Or are they being commercially bred yet?

I'm shocked. I really didn't know this. Thanks for posting. I guess only buy this fish if you can establish that it is captive bred,

This fish must not be allowed to become endangered for the benefit of aquarists. It is the Dodo all over again.

I suspect these are commercially bred now because my shop has a lot of smallish fish in. £8 each, so still not cheap, but I have heard that they are not too hard to breed.

I really hope this is the case

it would be terrible if us hobbiests wiped out a new species in this day and age
