hummm :) I thought that many species were on the brink of
extinction? Why might this be? If we dont study the existing environment how 
can we say its changing? With our unfortunate
friend the african chiclid of a particular lake, it seems is
on the brink because of an unnatural preditor introduced into
its environment. somebody must looked and counted?
If the entire objective was to breed the animals in
captivity, its been my experience that "most" of the time to be sucessfull at 
this, it is important to know about its environment and get as close as 
possible to it in the aquarium. At this time it is assumed :) that the fishys 
will do whats natural and we can then peek at them.
oh well I stand corrected as a very bad man....:)
