Opposed to bill HR669.
Why don't we enforce the laws about releasing nonnatives? And why is it okay to stock sportfish in nonnative waterways, but not aquarium fish? The largemouth bass has been stocked everywhere, as well as carp, bluegill, pike, crappie, trout, the list goes on. All of these species are capable of much more habitat destruction and displacing native fish than your average aquarium species.
