It’s honestly surprising how different the regulations can be depending on the country or even the state. Some species that are common in one area can be completely restricted somewhere else because of invasive species risks or environmental concerns.
I think a lot of aquarium hobbyists don’t realise how important these rules are until they start researching specific fish. Threads like this are actually really useful for understanding both the legal side and the responsibility that comes with keeping exotic species
It’s also interesting seeing how some species are restricted mainly to protect local ecosystems and native fish populations.
