I agree with you Peter.
IMO industry is paranoid. Dizzy's comments confirm that and I don't mean to be personal Dizzy.
The fact is there ARE fish and coral which should not be available to our hobby. Take a look at the unsuitable species list (USL) (at the beginning of this forum) There are maybe 50 in this category. I would settle for a start of ten. But industry wont even admit one.
Is there any fish you see listed there that should not be on the List?
You yourself have gone on record that you will not buy certain fish for resale. Why?
When I speak this way I mean that some of this fish should be available for research by experts. That does not mean that they should fill the tanks of LFS and sold to unsuspecting newbies.
It is high time industry takes some initiative to do something about the wholesales slaughter of fish that should never to sold in LFS.
Their refusal to anything invites the government and environmental groups to step in. When they do so our hobby will be severely restricted and you will have a hell of a lot less to sell.
