This is really important for everyone whoâs in the hobby to sign this petition.
The âProtect Your Pets - Say No to Harmful Positive Listsâ petition is about the future of fishkeeping in the UK.
It responds to proposals that would introduce a âpositive listâ system. This would limit which species can be legally kept, sold, or traded.
According to the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association, this approach could:
⢠Reduce the number of species available to a very small list
⢠Exclude commonly kept fish due to lack of data, not risk
⢠Create new welfare challenges rather than solving them
⢠Increase pressure on responsible fishkeepers and aquatic businesses
The petition helps show policymakers how many people this would affect.
If you keep fish or care about responsible fishkeeping, your voice matters.
