End of the Aquarium trade - **** you US Gov

[95Harley]

Well, tonight on the Nightly news I was completely pissed when I saw that our Government is considering a ban on ALL non-Native fish being brought into the US.

Well first, I can't have an Asian Arowana
Then, after owning a dozen Redline Snakehead my state outlaws them
Now, my beloved Lionfish is under attack and they showed guys killing dozens of them in the Bahamas on TV.

When will it end?

I'm so Pissed off right now I can't see straight after they said that congress was considering a Ban on all Non-Native fish being brought into the US.

So what will be my choices soon...a Large mouth bass or a Bluegill...

Won't happen. The pet trade lobbies hard against this kind of thing. Won't be the 1st time it has been discussed by the government though.

I think my heart skipped a beat, i love fishkeeping.
What, why don't they find some more constructive way to p*** people off. They should be focusing on illegal imigration and education. Yeah i don't think they will ever do this anyway.
Can you imagine we wouldn't be able to keep even a rainbow or a tetra?
