Will BP or KKP survive in the wild?

.S. · 11-05-2007, 12:44 AM

I wonder will BP or KKP survive in the wild here i.e. canal, river or reservior?

Are they able to hunt food when out of captivity?

Will releasing these fishes into local waters upset the eco system? I know most male are sterile and female may cross breed with other cichlids already present.

I am not implying that I have already released such fishes or intend to.

Just curious how they able to survive.

i believe any fishes that can catch him prey should be able to survive in the wild..

I think so too but some BPs unlike KKP their body shapes are not streamlined and their open mouths like make them a prey than predator?

Assuming most of them can take care of themselves in local waters. Should releasing them in small numbers into local waters encouraged? Bear in mind most males are sterile.
