what's the difference between wild and farm breed ????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I believe there is no way to tell

Wonder where you get "trained eye" from?

I beleive this is a myth
 
mjunior.. bradda did you ever find what you were looking for on your mission? with my fish? nothen new.. been fishing alot.

^^ above post deff not tru.. i been in the game for prob longer then anyone on here and you can deff tell wild cichla from farm boys. not 100 percent of the tiime but most of the time. you have to study color, fins, body shape, eyes, head shapes, markings, on and on
 
Hey Boosten thanks for sharing your experience in keeping Cichla. This is what we newbies need here :) Hearsay Hawaii's pbass are the off springs of a pair of ocellaris, check those colours from the net. Perhaps you are right about inbreeding.

Our desire for wildfish could be bad for the species. If only those breeeders are more mindful about inbreeding then we do. Darn!

yes.... but my tanks are still down until my move is completed:nilly:... tanks should be up in late july or early august.... and the surprise will be unveiled....:naughty: all my pea's that you have seen before are being well taken care of... and the newer surprizes are gettin fattened up as we speak but still very skittish and stressed.....

soon braddah boost......time = patience= instant gratification:grinyes::grinyes::grinyes:
 
i lack the patience part... how about a hint? lol

rio negro.. yes i agree about its prob a bad idea for us to take speicies from the wild but i few cant hurt as long as they get into the right hands? right? moderation is key importance in our lives and if certain things are done right i dont think it will hurt. look at all the other wild fish they sell in the market. we wont even mention japan.. you can get any wild cichla you want there :( o well i just suck it up and deal with it since i cant pay g's for the fish i love
