Thanx Perry!

I thought I would include these quotes that raised my brows most out of the article

Quote:

Overfishing and destructive fishing are also leading causes of reef ecosystem degradation.

Quote:

Some fishing techniques use cyanide to stun the fish so they can be captured live for the lucrative aquarium industry. The cyanide degrades the corals left behind and often kills species not targeted by fishermen

Its so weird how I have changed my views since I have gotten into this hobby. I try as hard as I can now to buy aquacultured specimens!
