The ugly face of the fish trade

[Opcn]

Gene complexes are broken down with line breeding aswell and thats how we get all those prety tank raised fish. transferal of species is unavoidable thought and eventualy things will even out even if humans dont survive to see it.

yeah that's the total ugly side of singapore. i myself, am from singapore and many times, singapore has shown its ugly face to the world. although there are many very serious hobbiest here who do not care about money keeping their fish (they don't even sell fries, they give them away), there are many shops that are just out to make a quick buck. at the peak, flowerhorns here commanded a price of about 10k SGD which is abt 6-7k USD. many shops here have very very bad conditions (severe overcrowding and stuff) but those respectable shops are really really a far cry from that
