Re: Picking on the exotics...:)

That list is being developed. The entire program is just a few weeks old
so give it some time. Fish Traps are a good way to go I'd say.
In regards to the concerns that this is not a complete solution , or what
about the exotics up north. I agree this is an imperfect solution but it
is a start wich is far better than doing nothing. People have gotten into
a habit of throwing away the good in search of the perfect. I'd be
thrilled to find a perfect solution but until then I'll settle for the
good wich is a general removal of aquarium species where they are found
:)
