Tequila;1125640; said:I my be wrong here, but it's my opion that this guy knows what he's doing with those fish as well as or BETTER than those people making negative remarks about him and his tank size, shape, depth and or cleanliness. If what was posted is true and theres no reason to believe it isn't. Then this guy has taken these fish from less than a foot, too what 5, 6, maybe even 7 feet and had them for 12 years.
And by the way just about every Plant, Insect, fish, Invertibrate and Animal with the exception of Humans are listed in some way with CITES I, II or III. And who says that what's listed on CITES is correct?, Zoologist?, Biologist?, Scienist?, or some pencil pushing members of The US Government?, US Customs?, and or US Fish & Wildlife? Because while other countries agreed to take part in C.I.T.E.S. The US is basically the only country enforcing these regulations through the authority of The Dept of US Fish & Wildlife. CITES is easy to get on, and all but takes an act of God to get off. CITES Regulations make little if any sense, when and where there are farms and other captive breeding program involved.But that's just my opion, which really doesn't matter at least not here in the USA.
Just a point from the uk, CITES are enforced over here. I've been to many fish dealers over here and you can't even think of getting anything remotely listed without many certificates.
Amazing tank/pool and the fish look happy enough and that's the main thing
