Re: [Killietalk] Tank fish in the wild

["Bill Phillips" <bphillips50 at optusnet_com.au>]

At least in Australia since the 1970s bringing in something "New and/or 
Rare" often does push "something else" off the table.

The result is the Australian hobby has lost hundreds of species of fish (not 
just killis - everything) during the last 30 years. We will never see them 
in Australia again because of Government import restrictions.

I have argued for years that every hobbyist should put one tank aside for 
breeding what is today "a common fish". Based upon Australia's history that 
fish will be rare and endangered within a few years.

Anyone interested in doing such a venture? Just one small tank in your 
fish-house. For the sake of all fish, please.
