i know right i heard a rumor they are probaly gonna re stock cichla if they need to and maybe try to introduce some sub adult tems idk if its true but i heard it from my auncle who has a vak house there
I have suppliers down there and its a fish holocaust.Seriously they are just losing ridiculous amounts of fish.Think about going on 50 trips to central and south america to collect all wild and rare fish and take them back to breed ~ years and years of collections and work and then all of it dieing.Its that bad-SERIOUSLY. I am on the phone and email with 4 different suppliers and collectors,farmers and breeders and I am getting the same reports. They are used to getting 2-3 days of frost maybe once every few years at most.They have covers for the vats/ponds/and large tanks but the giant ponds have no protection.Even with the covers its not a big help and a lot of these places have no heaters-for what?this doesn't happen......until now. Its BAD!Real Bad!
Even when this passes,with the amount of stress these fish are under it will severly weaken them and make them pretty much defensless to disease or anything they may have been able to fight off b4.Of course not all are out doors but its a catastrophe none the less.
