So how often are fish still being collected by this method. I remember years ago it was a huge issue with angels, butterflies, and some others coming from the Philippines, then they cracked down and it was common with fish labeled as coming from Indonesia.
I just lost a regal angel I picked up about 30 days ago that was supposedly from Sri Lanka (grey belly). It initially ate wonderfully, then within 48 hours it stopped eating, colors dulled way out (were super bright originally), and completelt crashed until I euthanized the poor fish this afternoon. I opened the fish to do a necropsy immediately after euthanization and the liver was basically dissolved into a yellow mush. This is what I had always seen with fish in the past that had been cyanide caught.
So how prevalent is cyanide collection still?
