Banned for sale at local pet shops:
# Any venomous fish, such as the marine cat fish, lion fish and stone fish.
Foxface and other rabbitfishes, scorpion fish, toadfish, goosefish aka Rhinopias?!
# Fish with spines, other sharp appendages or teeth that can cause injury, such as the scorpion fish, piranha and moray eel.
Tangs, surgeonfishes, maroon clownfish, triggerfish, porcupine puffers!? Basically all fish have spines such as dorsal spines that can cause injury.
# Fish that have a large territorial range in their natural habitat, such as sharks, dogfish and stingrays.
Ok this is the only point that made sense.
If they want to protect youngsters from such fish, an age verification prior to purchase would suffice. As usual, the least troublesome method of banning everything comes into play.
Surprisingly they left out poisonous fish, are'nt the lawmakers afraid that hobbyists would end up eating their pufferfish?
