This thread is very interesting. I am not suggesting i know a definitive reason as to why CB would be different from WC but if you look at what is different in a home aquarium compared to the wild, that would have to give you the answers.
1. Certainly inbreeding would be a culprit. Especially when you are talking about Senegals since you see them so readily available and cheap at the LFS.
2. Chemistry in the tank. PH, temp, etc would probably make differences among those born in different enviroments from what they had evolved from. One would think this would affect the fish in the egg or juvi state since the adults don't change once you have them.
3. Diet. Maybe massivore doesnt have the prenatal nutrients to devolope the eggs in the way that worms, frogs and fish they eat in the wild do.
Even if you perfectly replicated the conditions the fish had in the wild and made sure there was no inbreeding, i think it would be extremely difficult to make sure they were eating the exact same thing in the wild as they would be in the home aquarium.
Lets see some more comparison pics of WB vs CB. Thanks guys.
