not liking the idea of killing a beautiful fish. they should trap them and sell them to the aquarium trade

i agree 100%

I totally agree. I say a life is a life, whether it's a fly, a rat, a dog, or a human. Many might argue that some have a central nervous system, feelings, memory, intelligence, whatever. It's still a life to me.

Do you really think that they'd be able to sell them ? How many people do you know, that would buy some?

How many 'beautiful fish' does the aquarium trade kill, everyday?

IMO, If they can use them as food, that seems to be the best option.

i guess thats what they get for trespassing. but seriously, if they're not taken care off, they can wipe out a lot of marine life in the Caribbeans.

Aren't these fish slow swimmers?
