Also sturddlefish did not magically appeared in a pond where two parent species were kept. They were deliberately crossed through inducing them with hormones and then taking sperm and eggs from the fish.

Yeah i didnt ever read the updated article about it that had more details after i made this. But at first they said the lab accidently created the sturdlefish by mixing the two fish. I still havent seen the info on what happened specificially. Other than a blurb that The hybrids were created "accidentally", during attempts to induce gynogenesis. But what did they do? Accidently use an embryo from one and a sperm from the other fish?

@HodujemyRyby

Жыл бұрын

@@Fishtory in this case "accident" meant that genetic material of both species actually connected and started developing including genes of both fish. Initial reason for connecting egg and sperm of both species was to induce gynogenesis and the end result was different than expected but mixing egg and sperm of these two species was deliberate.

I would think that we domesticated guppies too. I recently bought some. Never had them before. They behave completely different from all the fish I kept before (rainbowfish, tetras, rasboras), more similar to a Betta. They are not at all afraid of me. They practically follow me and beg for food. Maybe their wild relatives are also so brave. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But to me they seem like small water puppies when compared to their tankmates, that are mostly afraid of me and hide when I move.

Hi Alex, Thanks for another interesting video. A suggestion for a possible future topic is unexpected inhabitants in your aquarium. In my aquarium I noticed a very tiny snail, 1/4 inch, crawling on the glass. I have no idea how it showed up as I haven't added any additional fish, snails or plants to my aquarium in over one year. I do have one mystery snail however the tiny snail has a cone shaped shell. The only items added are dried and frozen foods plus botanicals. Cheers

The Sturddlefish story you told is incorrect, they were not part of a monster tank display nor did they breed on their own terms. They were accidentally created by researchers trying to induce a form of parthenogenic reproduction in both species, to see if they could breed them in captivity because they're endangered. They used male paddlefish milt with female sturgeons as a control, not expecting viable hybrids to occur.

Brilliantly done Alex! Hi from New Zealand! I love your content i always find something interesting and enthralling in your presentations . Last week you were asking about interesting fish, well I keep licorice gouramis, to say that they fascinate me is a understatement, they are amazing and rare , I consider it a real privilege to have them live with me, if you ever get the opportunity to Aquire some GO for it, they are so rare in the wild now I believe that any increase in population is good, what are your thoughts on this matter, is it futile? Will they ever regain their lost habitat? Or is growing the genetic pool more important? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have a great day mate

I only have wild betta, and they amaze me.

That's ridiculous it's absolutely criminal

This is why I refuse to buy some fish that will only live for only 2-3 years.this is why I look for fish that will last like Mascara Barb's will live for 8 years but I can't find them, so I got 7 baby Shubunkin's they can live 15 years I'm growing them up so I can put them in my koi pond out back

The treatment of neons is animal cruelty…I understand how it happens, but if we could boycott the big stores that might change things. It won’t change if people who chose to boycott don’t inform the big store…true fir any boycott. U]in general corporations assume 20 additional biycotters/letter writers per person who calls or writes a letter. It has a big impact.
