Fact 2: The photoperiod for fish in captivity can cause stress, in the wild there is the gradual change from night and day while in captivity it is sudden.

Fact 3: For fish in captivity, it is of vital importance that the aquarist/caretaker recreate the habit and environment of the fish to be as natural as possible.
In conclusion, habitat and environment are important for fish in captivity because it can really affect their stress levels and whether they live or die.
