Re: NFC: Re: Breeder's Program Want List
Hi Josh, All,
I am glad to hear it. I think that the trophy species get too much
attention. A conservation organization should raise awareness of those
fishes not quite as attractive or notable as those listed on that want list.
Not that those fishes listed don't need conservation work, but looking at
the list one might think that only colorful fishes were on the agenda.
