boil Enthusiast Posts: 201 Kudos: 420 Votes: 28 Registered: 19-Dec-2003	i was looking at the pictus catfish profile on this site and it says it cannot be bred. If they cant be bred then how do we still have them?

The aquarium fish trade is intermixed with both captive-bred fish and wild-caught species. Typically wild-caught fish are more expensive, since the hardship in obtaining them is costly, but this depends on the fish and it's availability.

They must not feel comfy in tanks. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
