MАTTRESS Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 everyone else is doing these so like why not (inspired by @mhiahia's and everyone else who did something like that's thingy) You probably know that nichelings are endangered, and most are in captivity. Up to 60% of nichelings still in the wild are aquatic; we think that these formerly uncommon nichelings may be a big help in the repopulation of the species. We managed to find two healthy and compatible aquatic nichelings. We put them together, and are now closely monitoring them.

PincerClaw420 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hello there ANRPP, quick question: are you studying the genetics of these adaptive creatures, their behaviours or both? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly behavior, nicheling genetics are pretty much figured out (as far as we know). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
