Ban the sale, ownership, or breeding of invasive red-bellied pacu.

Red bellied pacu are a 3 foot relative of the pirahna. They are common in the pet trade, and are often seen in pet stores. These specimens are small, leading unsuspecting aquarists into buying them. When they realize that these fish need a large tank, and live 20+ years, they are often released into waterways. This can either kill the fish, or, even worse, the fish can live and wreak havoc on the ecosystem. These fish eat all plant matter, and are forced to consume native species. Pacus are alteady found in pats of the southeast. Please ban these fish!
