Beani are rare in captivity becuase there difficult to breed due to aggression and the fry bloat and die very eazily

Ornatums are very rare in captivity don't know how rare they are in the wild though

Lynosi would also be high on the list there getting very rare in the wild
Ornatum arnt rare in the wild its the collection area, its run by drug barons.....
 
Blue Dempseys have never been seen in the wild... that's pretty rare...

neither are Flowerhorn but we are talking true species not hybrids or recessive gene fish.

I would say Bartoni are pretty damn rare in the Wild but Lyonsi are up there.

Obviously people have already stated beani are infact not rare in the wild just captivity. LOL the UK doesn't have Beani what about Australia LOL. I don't think anyone has one.

Oh and Beani aren't being brought into country's because of what davidefc said. Most areas are HIGH drug trafficing and areas of Drug Baron's. They are still able to get caught in alot of areas though.
 
Yeah color morphs of fish would be the rareist in the wild LoL
 
Color morphs are "true species"... and are not hybrids... be careful what you group together ;)

Although I can accept they are a rare variety of a common species... therefore that species is not rare...
 
I was under the impression that bocourtis were rare in the wild.
