Do you think bichirs will be affected by the bill?

ugh I don't trust the government to be scientific or smart about anything

theywill probably read polys breath air and think "omg, they will crawl out of the water into a different water way!!" and ban them

well there have been reports of Delhezi in the florida river system for 20 years and nothing happened and Polypterus cannot live in cooler cilmates then if this is the case then hobby will loose a lot of fish and hobbist. you band my favorite fish I am out.

Wow I already can't own channa, bowfin, and now bichir!? But wouldn't alot more fish be affected than just bichir so even if you can still keep bichirs it would still make our hobby limited.

the only places they could probably survive is in Florida, California , Texas

Doesn't matter they will still be banned across the entire country regardless of where they can actually become invasive and no can even say for sure that polys can adapt to U.S waters all thats gonna happen is people will see there large predatory tropical fish and assume they could breed with no problems in southern states like florida and with out a econd thought put them on the Un approved list

so YES polys WILL be banned if the bills takes affect

Dont try and guess, better petition for the bill not to pass just to be safe. Take no chances.

I find it hard to believe that bichirs could compete with native species.
