Not sure if someone else posted this but they have recently banned sport fishing for catch and release in Columbia. I find this crazy since they will still be harvesting live fish and removing them but catch and release is now illegal down there. So me the way I am starting looking into places that have banned sport fishing catch and release and came to find out the Obama administration was trying to pass a law to ban it as well. I feel like we shouldn’t have to take fish from the wild or maybe a certain amount a year to the breeders to keep the spawn strong. Also idk about y’all on here but catch and release fishing is 100% ok in my book??
What freshwater fish do you think will go extinct soon?

I have heard that there are several farms that are breeding pulchers but I haven't seen any proof of such.It would be wonderful if true.
To think that in an old book I had from around 25 years ago notes that they are common and only have slight concerns in the wild. How things change overtime
Sadly this is true. And what pains me the most is that I am 100% certain that there is countless undescribed species of betta/liquorice gouramis that we will never be able to see because they will go extinct before we even know they existed. The same goes for Mogurnda sp. and Rainbowfish in New Guinea. There is so little information about them out their, and very few people actually go out their to search for them. And even then, the trips are very sparse. The places are so remote and hard to get to, I can only have the highest of respect to people like Gerry Allan and Gary Lange.
I've heard of this place. Apparently they steal photos from someone else who can artificially breed them (like how they cut open salmon and get the eggs and sperm and mix em). They've only been successful in breeding hybrid Datnioides pulcher and Datnioides undecimradiatus. He scammed a bunch of people including a few of my friends. But other than that I've never seen anyone breed the pure blood datnoids. But I have a few things up my sleeve. Hopefully I can pull this creature back from the brink. If not me I hope someone else. Would be a shame to lose such an amazing fish.
Yeah its a real shame. But I hope there's still untapped places on this planet. So people can't go in and eradicate all of these unique animals. Keeping the ecosystem pure and healthy.
Its a shame. My parents and grandparents use to eat these fish since they were that common. But now they're just gone. Really sad.
Let's not forget chain loaches if they drop in popularity. The ones in pet stores are artificially spawned because the species is so at risk.
Another valued local fish.
Actually, I see may more now than I used to. Perhaps it is not so at risk now.
