Don't worry, an online petition like that will never get enough signatures and no government agency is going to take it seriously. Though I do have to say this, they have valid reasons. Pacu really should not be sold for dirt cheap in every LFS across the country. Most do end up in inproper homes and many end up in the wild and they are perfectly capabile of living in Florida. I don't think they should be illegal but they should be harder to get ahold of.
 
I think they should have very limited availability also.

Have to agree. We carry them and I try to talk people out of them all the time, or least are aware of the needs of this fish. Must be why we have only sold two in a year. Trying to get corp. to stop carrying them.

Well there you have it then. Still, Florida dosen't need anymore and I'm sure there are still certain watersheds that don't have them....yet.

I too am on the anti-pacu bandwagon. Their ability should be limited like many fish that are usually improperly cared for.
 
No chain store should carry them. They should be at LFS only. They should have to be min. 6 inches to sell, and much more money. Right now, you can walk into any petsmart and see them for sale right next to dwarf gouramis at the same size and price. If I remember correctly, their highly informative card on the tank says max size: 22 inches, setup: 30+ gallons.
