FISHES OF FRENCH GUIANA Volume 12, Number 4

It’s not a brand new entry to the aquarium trade, but today’s photograph of a hybrid Synodontis, the blending of Synodontis (eupterus X angelicus), was extremely eye-catching! Joe Hiduke of Nautilus Tropical Fish Wholesale shared the photo, and I felt compelled to put it out there for all of you to enjoy!
Just last spring and summer, the entire pet trade was at risk when nationwide whitelists and interstate trade restrictions were proposed to be enacted through amendments to the Lacey Act. They failed to pass, but now the Lacey Act proposals have been resubmitted and everything is right back where it started last time.
A wide range of industry experts and competing businesses recently joined together to stave off industry-killing whitelist proposals in the state of Florida.

Florida’s pet trade and pet owners are facing a full-on assault on their ability to keep, culture, and sell the vast majority of organisms that currently make up the pet trade. In short, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is proposing two variations on a strict white list approach to pet trade regulation in the name of preventing future invasive species problems. These proposals may restrict the total amount of species across all subsets of the pet hobby to as few as perhaps only 200 total species across the entirety of the pet trade.
