I agree with you and its a very admirable thought. The neon tetra example would collapse the aquatic pet trade though which in turn would have its own ramifications with people that depend on those jobs.
Why are these being sold????

Ok then we're back to banning. If this is such a huge concern what separates these from a snakehead? Which is banned everywhere in the country I live in.
If we're picking the lesser of evils (which is essentially what we're doing here). Then the colder climate would be the better choice.
I said there is a big defence in being able to house an oscar than a pima.
But I do share gouramis veiw and would be happy to buy a permit or whatever to keep any fish if it helped save fish from miserable living conditions.
Education is key, lots of these questions are easily answered via one educating themselves on the subject. While I like to think globally, in the end my main focus is what's going on in my country. I have zero control over what's happening, or may happen in the future, somewhere else.
No kidding. lol

I understand what you're saying and where you're coming from. I do agree.
Where we live though they have a tendency to blanket ban things instead of the laser point accuracy you're explaining. I think we all agree, but some of us are scared of what the end result would entail.
I'm not a fan of blanket bans either, once big brother gets involved things can get goofy, but the alternative ain't exactly working either.
In my country, many/most Provinces restrict the purchase of commercial farm fish, trout, salmon, even tilapia, are permit only, which is issued by the Fish & Wildlife. If you can't prove to a fish dick that you have the proper set up to house the fish, no permit is issued.

I said my main focus. I can't control what happens elsewhere, I have very little if any control over what happens here in Canada. We can swap spit all day on a fish forum, but that won't change anything either. Like I said early on in this discussion, blame the morons of the world, they are the ones that cause bans to be put in place. In my life experience, it is these same uneducated "hobbyists", and I use that term very loosely, that have created this mess. I don't want to see massive sweeps involving restrictions, permits, or bans, but unfortunately the common sense approach that Frank would like to utilize hasn't worked in several decades.

What truth are you speaking ?
Not really what your saying is why it should be implemented. I want to know stan is what will it do for the cause ?
Humor me.
Little johnny wants an arapaima. Dad takes him to the lfs. To poor Johnny's dismay none are available. Now what happens in your opinion at this point ?
