Hi all,

How do you feel about the easy availability of tankbusters in this country. I am very anti restrictions, but I have just been into my lfs and they have a tank FULL of baby pacu, a tank FULL of TSN and a tank FULL of IR sharks!!! I mean WTF??? Okay there are more people about than you think with big tanks, but no where near that many!!!! In a country where it is illegal to leave a goldfish 'alone' when you go on holiday, how can this be right? If you have the space you should have the fish, but really... I saw a 3 foot redtail in a 4 ft tank the other day...
 
I think the fish should be available, but perhaps for some of the bigger fish people should have to keep some kind of logbook of their tank perhaps or something similar, so fish like RTC's and TSN's aren't sold to people with 10g tanks
 
Agreed, they should be readily available, but only to those who have the dedication to look after them!
