I breed and sell rare species of fish and plants. I have almost 6k gallons of water dedicated to this. I've been obsessed about getting the "rarest fish in the world". As I'm not American, I never heard of them until a few months ago. They're not very special but I find them to be very cute, and they're very strange. The Devil's Hole Pupfish. They're critically endangered and only live in a single small geothermal pool in Nevada, US. There is less than 300 fish in the wild. They're also infamously hard to raise in captivity as they need very specific water conditions and temperature (32C/90F), plus they're extremely inbred from thousands of years of living in a hot puddle. Attempts to raise them or transplant them have been infamously disastrous. I would kill to get my hands on some, I'm certain I could breed a sustainable population of them.
