There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Tigerluver makes a great point.
I am not sure who here is very familiar with Cichlid Fish (freshwater fish) but I am very familiar with them, aside from owning many different kinds in my life, I have researched them for years.
A dovii (one of the largest predatory cichlids) is a very popular fish, the largest measurement to ever come from them are from wild caught, same with Umbee (similar fish to a dovii)
The largest captive is 24'' or so, the largest caught by real is 28'' but larger ones than that have been speared etc. What I am saying is, nothing is going to provide a fish or mammal the nutrients and space of their mother nature, especially the open ocean, its always going to produce larger animals, and its also why many animals can't even be held captive because they die, Like GWS' .
