There's a big difference though between overseeing large commercial fishing vessels and keeping tabs on ornamental fish collectors using boats that blend in with recreational boaters.

I think a partial ban would be the way to go.

Stop removing delicate/impossible/next-to-impossible to raise species in the wild.

Parrots, Copperbands, etc have a poor survival rate and it is because of the hobbyist not having a clue or poor advice from an LFS.

Some people keep fish successfully. Some do not... and then try again.

Fish are animals too. Some regulation would be good.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have allways wondered why wild fish are cheaper. I mean, you buy Wild Salmon, it costs a lot more than farmed Salmon. Why are our fish any different. I am all for preserving the oceans, getting CB instead of Wild. Regulate the collection, don't just ban it outright.

It's like saying Cars kill to many people, so instead of all the regulations we have, were just going to ban them all together.. Ya that really makes sense....
