US Congressional Bill could stop Hobby

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I already posted in the other thread but people need to read the bill before posting about how it will destroy the hobby. It should not effect the hobby very much at all. A few species may be harder to get or banned but it would only be a very few species that can be invasive/destructive to US wildlife. It's not a simple ban of everything like people are saying. It's quite specific and there has be reason for any species to be banned. I would be willing to bet that not a single Tang or Acro would ever get on that list. Hawaii may push for the tangs but they are already working their way towards an all out ban on collection in the islands anyways.

Well, if they were worried about hawaiian fish being over-collected... what do you think will happen when they can't get fish from anywhere else?

The hobby will be largely unaffected by the passing of this bill. That entire thread is just a big batch of scaremongering.
