We should get a mod to move this out of the vendor section.
Mine would probably be currently my Obbes Catfish and my Lake Eacham Rainbowfish (True lake form, Extinct in the wild)
For species I have kept, it would definetly be my Trout cod.
I'll have to send some of my photos later, but here are some from the Internet (none of my trout cod)

That’s one gorgeous rainbow fish, what does the captive bred form look like compared to the wild?

is that a true freshwater eel?
I can’t wait to see what fish end up here either. as soon as I get a new job and can afford it I’m gonna be buying something rare but not sure what yet, thinking something for my cave tetras tank

Captive bred stuff look really bad (at least the newer ones) because of how inbred they are. My fertility rates for them is terrible.

Didn’t think about the inbreeding. Have you had any success breeding a pure line
There's not a lot of people with them, and they are all closely related. My issue is that I can't get fry. Last year I got maybe 3/4 fry from ~300 eggs, and none survived. My line is pure, and that's the issue. There is no fish to supplement my blood line, the true lake eacham is extinct in the wild.

Oh I didn’t think you’re were all in the same blood line.
