I mean threatened, big or otherwise recognizable animals. There are many small freshwater fish bred by hobbyists but not in any zoo, for example.
Zoos in Europe currently have very uniform collections, and appearance of a new species become rare. What will be the next ones? Anything is planned...
One of the components of an upcoming aquaponics school project is the raising of fish, preferably endangered ones or of conservation value. This is a major project, and we have a 75 gallon tank. What are some good candidates for endangered fish we could be keeping?
I am already thinking of...
I looked at the IUCN Red List updates and many familiar zoo animals became threatened species in the recent years.
For example, pygmy marmoset is split into two species, both are vulnerable. Golden-bellied mangabey is now endangered (phase-out species in european zoos).
Grey‐cheeked mangabey...
