This is where I'm going to list mbuna species that I find are in trouble.
I think any fishkeeper has to think twice before buying any wild caught examples of these species where tank-bred are so readily available. Demasoni for example is such a common fish in the hobby that WC should never be bought once you know they are listed on the IUCN red list, unless for the specific reason of a conservation breeding program.
Some examples:
Pseudotropheus Elongatus - Vulnerable
Pseudotropheus Demasoni - Vulnerable
Pseudotropheus Saulosi - Vulnerable
Labeotropheus Trewavasae - Least Concern
Melanochromis Johannii - Vulnerable
Melanochromis Auratus - Least Concern
Melanochromis Cyaneorhabdos - Vulnerable

Hi chris,
Fish of categories "least concern" are in no threat or danger, fish that are "vulnerable" may be under pressure over fishing or habitat destruction but still found in good numbers at this present time.

Paul, you're right. I need to put up a list of definitions of terms from the Red List.
