Wild oscars

[Isabell Dunham]

Just wondering if anyone here has had experience with wild caught oscars...
A. Crassipinnis
A. Orbicularis

I don't see much on them, pictures or threads. I think these guys are beautiful. Has anyone tried breeding wild caught guys?

 

[Isabell Dunham]

no one has any?

I think its better not to get a wild caught fish if you can avoid it fairly easily! Just the "getting captured", shipped, transported for who knows how long, is tremendous stress... to then find themselves caged between 4 glass wall in a tiny environment which is nowhere near what they are used (or adapted ) to...
Plus some wild caught fish never really adapt to life in captivity so its riskier!
