One of the reasons I never watch YouTube unless there's a really good reason is that it is chock full of crap. HR 5421: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5421/all-info. Not passed, not about pets.

This is about mods to the Lacey act.

It’s the relevant passage:

“Third, the bill establishes a presumptive prohibition on the importation of any nonnative species of wild mammal, wild bird, fish (including mollusks and crustacea), amphibian, or reptile, or the eggs of any such species.”

I have a single common goldfish in a 75 gallon tank so I’m in a couple of FB fish keeping groups. The main way to get some of the more exotic GF is online. Most of those fish (Ranchu, Shubunkin) come from places like Japan and Thailand. They are usually not dumped anywhere, mainly because they don’t live long enough to be a problem. All of the cross breeding has consequences IMO. A lot of fish keepers will be pissed if this passes and they have a right to be concerned.
