This is another perfect example of why there was a heated debate in another thread recently with regards to the laws in Australia that prevent the import of loaches.... Some people spoil things for others.

There was a thread last week (either in here or general) and the author questioned the lack of availability for some loaches in Australia. It transcribed it was the 'importing restrictions' that led to this and high costs of the available fish.... sorry I can't be more specific.

I was expecting to hear some story about a guy who released hoards of clown loaches into a water-system and caused the extinction of some snail species.

OMG, u have to be kidding me. releasing piranha (or any non-indigneous species) into a water system is horrible enough. but the guy that did this thought," u know what, i dont want these piranha anymore. hey lets make a sick lil game of it. instead of dumpin them in a lake or river ill put them in a freakin FOUNTAIN! and see if anyone gets bit." he literally wanted for someone to get hurt by an animal he no longer cared for. i hope that kids dad stalks him down and messes him up good. ill hear about this lil story at work tomorrow.
