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.

why would anyone without a 500 gallon tank even buy a pacu, they should be banned.

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.
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.
