C.A.R.E.S. List - Endagered fish species list

This is a list of fish that are extinct or endagered in the wild. Some of our favorite fish are on this list. As breeders we can help ensure they stay in the hobby by breeding them.

Post any species you're keeping currently.

I've got Haplochromis "Ruby"
Xenotaca Eiseni

I have two Victorian species....Paralabidochromis chromogynos and Neochromis rufocaudalis (Saa Nane)

My fish have grown a bit since these videos but all seem to be pretty happy at the moment. I really love both of these species and the males are absolutely beautiful when they display.

I currently have 4 from the list.

Psammochromis riponianus
Pundamilia nyererei
Lipochromis sp. ‘matumbi hunter’
Pseudotropheus saulosi

I have added two species to my exisiting group and tanks. So now I have the following:

Paralabidochromis (Haplochromis) chromogynos (CARES and IUCN vulnerable)
Neochromis rufocaudalis (CARES vulnerable and IUCN least concern)
Limbochromis robertsi (CARES vulnerable and IUCN endangered)
Arnoldichthys spilopterus (CARES endangered and IUCN vulnerable)

Just wondering if anyone up in the Seattle area is working with any CARES fish. I have four species right now and curious what others are in our area.

I have the following......Lipochromis Matumbi Hunter, Psammochromis riponianus, Pundamilia nyereri "Ruti Island", and Pseudotropheus saulosi...

Here's a pic of my male Psamm - he's really coming into color right now and looks great!

Great topic, but a thread similar to this has already been started. I have relocated it here with the original C.A.R.E.S. thread.

Keep those lists coming.

You know I did a search for CARES and nothing came up.......thanks for finding it!
