How do you prove that?In certain parts of Europe you can't own large fish unless you prove you've got the minimum tank requirements.
What part of Europe are you referring to?

I was referring to one of the Nordic countries in Europe but can't quite remember which one.How do you prove that?

I have to search again which country, but somewhere Sweden, Netherlands, not sure right now. It was being discussed on a forum some years back, in fact in relation to clown loaches, the minimum tank requirement for the purchaser of those fish was mentioned as 500 litres.I'm aware of the animal welfare act in the UK, but never heard of the other. Thanks
That looks to me to be a fish keeping club set up to set standards to all sorts of things related to their club rules and fish keeping as well as fish shows.I was referring to one of the Nordic countries in Europe but can't quite remember which one.
Animal Welfare Act in the UK applies to fish keeping too.
Here it is:

A combination of government regulations and fish keeping club rules. Fish I think were included in the animal welfare act only around 2008. So it is criminal to mistreat fish, although I don't know how well the law works. I don't think it does work very well seeing that people mistreat fish even on public forums.That looks to me to be a fish keeping club set up to set standards to all sorts of things related to their club rules and fish keeping as well as fish shows.
Not actually laws setup by a governing body.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
It would be hard to police. Even here in the US there are animal cruelty laws that would probably cover any animals. But I don’t think fish are covered and even if they are I don’t know how that the authority would just come in your house and inspect for it.A combination of government regulations and fish keeping club rules.
