Eu Ban On Fish Keeping! #handsoffmyhobby

it's still going on as far as I know

Just found this thread. Are they all barking mad? What do they expect us to do with our fish, bump em all off if a law is passed? And people actually want their lives to be run by Brussels? This is the new world order, folks....their order, not ours.

Can't find much online at the moment (signing off soon)...but this item is fairly recent...

(not much help, though)

the link within that link doesn't even work so when you try to find out which species of fish are on the 'banned' (for want of a better word) list you are blocked.
 
I suspect they don't want us to know

Same problem in the US I believe. Arowanas are illegal to import and I see fish stores with arowanas. crayfish are also illegal and you see those.

well I hope now that we've decided to leave the EU all this over. It's going to take us somewhere in the region of 2 years to actually be free of Brussels but I hope in that time our government will say no to the stupid enforcement of this law
