These are not real fish worth breeding by any betta afficionado. Ban them from the IBC.Who needs these phony fish with all these limitations and poor body/fins? Next they will advertise that they are prize winning fish...What a bleeping joke. Come on IBC board, grow a set.Dan Dolaptchieff says:

Now only 14 will be able to aq fish there.It doesnt sound constitutional to me, I will be trying to get a permit to fish west side if it opens. I trop dove Kona side many years before there was a west hi trop permit required. .Im a disabled vet , and could not afford to give them $10,000. Does that make those that paid the boss?

Thanks Matt for putting it out there. I live hilo side Big Island and found out my representative from my district was one of the authors of the Bill. We lost most the east side of this island to lava flow. Our fisherman lost there main launch ramp to this super productive reef area. I said how can she sponser a bill ,when our fisherman are having a hard time just reaching old fishing areas.. We are barely surving. AlohaMary Finelli says:
Ugh! How about if we mess with human genes for entertainment? It certainly isn't for the fishes' benefit. It's just for this money-grubbing company to profit from, at the fishes' expense.Reef To Rainforest says:
