Cary's remark about the wild-caught Boesmani dying early reminded me of a
conversation I had with a chap who was friends with one of Heiko's breeders
in Europe. Apparently this fellow was of the opinion that many of the wild
fish had very little resistance to the common diseases that occur in our
aquaria and succumb easily to them despite treatment with 'standard" cures.

He based this opinion on his experience with the fish from the Triton Lakes
particularly
