There are plenty of native monsters, too, a lot of the people here keep gars and bass and sunfish, and if you think 98% of the people of the US won't allow the bill to happen, what do you care what I think of it? I'd like to reiterate that I'm not actually for the bill, I just think some parts of it are good (restrictions on importation and interstate transport), and think that those parts would help a lot of things.

It doesnt help us very much as there are laws about keeping natives. California banned gars, bowfins, esox and few native fishes from this state while some natives become prohibited in other states that they do not native to. Some native fishes have count as your limit of fishing like Minnesota does. Then theres VHS and bass herpes going on in some states which do not let some people collect some natives for aquarium like WI.

We're done with native fish keeping subject because its not related to this bill as it is different matter due to different laws in different states.

Oh by way Mollies, acra, swordtails and neon tetras are not on approved species list..All tropical fish and koi are NOT on approved species list. GOLDFISH is the ONLY ONE FISH THATS APPROVED SPECIES. You dont know if the livebearers will be on approved list for sure.

god this guy is retarded. he wants it to pass and he is a hobbyist? what a freakin retard. Then when we try to tell him why this is wrong he insults us?
TO THE OP
you need to think carefully about what this will do to the hobby. Most of my fish would be legel. Does that mean i would want this law passed just because my fish wouldnt be affected? NO because i realise what is wrong here and am not a f***in retard. This will destroy the hobby.
Now there will be the black market for the serious aquariumist, but you know were alot of these fish come from? poachers who deplete the wild population and help lead the extection of many species. You want to help the poachers? In a way(yeah you wont belive me and will argue with me) by supporting this bill you are supporting them. Im out before I really loose my temper.

This is wasted of time here. HR669 bill dont passed and there are too much hassle with this bill. There is already Federal and State Laws to manage invasives and prohibited species.
