Re: lionfish on the rampage.........

i wasnt saying it was because of hobbyists
but plenty os species do get introduced accidently by hobbyists

Re: lionfish on the rampage.........

Species are not accidently introduced by hobbiest.Whenever a hobbiest releases a fish,its intentional.It takes a complete dumbass to release a fish back into the wild.Weather its the fishes natural range or not.
And I dont buy that all those lionfish in the caribbean got there because a hurricane broke somebodies tank.
