My Fahaka puffer is wild caught. They don't breed in captivity and I see nothing wrong with me owning a WC. I know some Frontosa keepers who pay $100's more for WC over 1st generation captive bred. That I don't really understand. I have F1's and I think they are just as beautiful. But if people want WC I see no problem with it unless it is having a negative impact on the WC population. Most of Frontosa keepers I know keep there WC fish in better conditions than any other living creature I know.
on the other hand if you are against the practice or the store please don't say you are "rescuing" a fish. Major pet peeve of mine. Like people "rescuing" puppies from the mall pet shop. You aren't rescuing anything you are funding the practice and with the money you gave the store 2 more puppies filled the cages and countless more died before reaching the store. If you are rescuing something you don't pay the group causing the need for rescue.
