These Fish Were Perfect - Then Pet Stores Stopped Selling Them

The fish store isn't stocking the best fish. It's stocking the most profitable ones. The Pearl Gourami outlives most of what replaced it. The Spotted Congo Puffer came back after a war and is one of the most peaceful puffers in the hobby. The Paradise Fish was in tanks before electric light existed. None of them are on the shelf at your chain store. That's not an accident. In this video we cover 15 fish that disappeared from mainstream retail — not because the hobby tried them and found them wanting, but because designer breeds, GloFish patents, and impulse-purchase economics made the decision for you. 🔵ATTRIBUTION 🔵 https://pastebin.com/5hat5UAa Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Pearl Gourami 01:45 Festivum Cichlid 03:06 Spotted Congo Puffer 04:20 Flag Cichlid 05:32 Swordtail 07:01 Pencil Fish 08:27 Moonlight Gourami 09:52 Bleeding Heart Tetra 10:59 African Butterfly Fish 12:27 Odessa Barb 13:52 Penguin Tetra 15:11 Zebra Danio 16:36 Rosy Barb 17:50 Paradise Fish 19:17 Clown Barb ------------------------------------------------ NEED MORE HELP? ------------------------------------------------ 🌿 Learn about planted tanks - https://aquariumstoredepot.com/?s=plants 📑 Bookmark our website - https://aquariumstoredepot.com CAN'T GET ENOUGH? ------------------------------------------------ 🔔 Subscribe and click the bell to get notified - / aquariumstoredepot 📧 Subscribe to our newsletter for the best deals and industry news - https://aquariumstoredepot-newsletter... 🌮 Join Our Discord -   / discord   📝My Course - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
