In my experience, it is the toughest fish to transfer and acclimate. I wish I had seen this article before. Interesting concepts.

Hard species shouldn't be taken as a challenge on the aquarium trade, instead, they should have further investigation and research before to make them available to anyone, isn't the purpose of marine keeping and preserve of species?

 

[reeferman]

im pretty sure thats what the article is about,better acclimation for preservation

 

[joseayes]

I know, my point is that this species and other specimens are available to however want it.
And that they shouldn't. My 2cents

 

[reeferman]

ahh,ok gotcha

 

[porpoiseaquatics]

what a beautiful fish but I don't think I'll be trying one anytime soon.

 

[reeferman]

i feel if you are an experienced aquarist who can provide the proper environment for the fish to thrive,then i have no problem with someone trying a difficult fish.the only way for these type fish to have a better survival rate is to get them in the hands of capable fish keepers.

Great article, saw this a couple of months ago.

If my Halichoeres cosmetus dies, this will be in the top 2 or 3 on purchase....

Yup. And then there's a LOT more on top of that too. This is a fish that NEEDS QT and some prophylactic attention.

So, who does the research and investigation?

This concept *should* be applied to a LOT of aquarium fish. And it isnt. For a lot of reasons. Who manages or dictates who is "ready" or not? Heck, theres a lot of aquarium keepers that cant keep even the EASIEST to care for fish alive. EVERY aquarist has the responsibility to personally assess themselves and whether theyre ready to care for the animals they purchase, long term.

My opinion about keeping and preserving is that some species make an important roll in the oceans ecosystems, if they decimated in numbers then it becomes another problem.
Marine biologist should have conducting investigation and research of endangered and exotic sea animals, I know they're some that are been working for long time to make the population of fish and coral and lots of important marine life.
And I agree with your opinion Jeremy. :thumbup:
