Plecos to be Banned!!!

[Irbanjaxed]

x2 ?

 

[solchitlins]

Is there a reason why?

 

[ITHURTZ]

ya what is the reason? release into non native lakes? endangerment in their natural habitats?

 

[cob201]

This is the official list

http://ibama2.ibama.gov.br/cnia2/renima/cnia/lema/lema_texto/IBAMA/IN0203-221008.PDF

Anexo 1 is the list of allowed exports. This is being done to preserve wild populations, I see it as a good thing for sure, just so long as the brazilian gov. doesn't end up killing the lot anyway through jungle development.

PLECO LOVERS MOVE TO CANADA = ]

if the export is banned that means there banned everywhere thankfully some can be bred in captivity

 

[Cichla dude]

Why are they being banned??

 

[Flash]

To "prevent" them from extinction, and to preserve their wild numbers. Then again, the IBAMA government is also building a dam that will kill the zebra plecos.
