if there was more $ in freshwater fish I would be breeding them-- of course! But the thing is... I live in Hawaii.. Not the Amazon, not Africa, not Vietnam, or some other exotic place that has really nice freshwater fish. The freshwater fish HERE are not exciting. No discus or arrowana or anything else cool. We have guppies and swordtails. I'm not saying that freshwater fish suck in general, they just suck when they come from HAWAII.
