A Tiny Amazonian City That Supplies Aquarium Fish to the World
- woliveirajr 10y agoInteresting, having heard on how many fishes die from their origin to the moment they are placed in some aquarium, I always thought that a giant amount should be captured and it should have some impact on the natural population. I won't discuss whether those captured fish have a fair treatment during transportation, in the aquariums, etc. But it's interesting to know that the ones that are captured ate those that probably would die in a short time in the nature, anyway.
