So with this new ban on Lionfish Imports. Does this mean no more Fu Manchu's?
I wanted to build a tank around that next year :angryfire:

I'm not so sure about that. One of my suppliers was just saying they probably just sold their last fu man chu ever.

Yea FL has banned them and also opened a kill on site order to all divers and fisherman. I haven't speared any yet but they are supposed to taste amazing. Maybe when the population diminishes offshore in the Gulf Coast they may let LFS Carey a limited amount. The problem is they get too big for tanks. Then are dumped in the bay and gulf. Where there are no predators that eat them. Not fu man chu's on the big part. Much luck to you on finding your fish! They are pretty cool looking.

They may not be willing to import lionfish due to the risk they get a volitans in error, but the dwarfs are still ok based on what I've read about it.

I'm normally the last to agree to more laws but as a gulf diver i agree with this. Can't go on a dive past 100 feet without them covering it up, getting to be a problem around here in a hurry so something is needed.
That said, we will never put them back in the box, they are a local now no question, my bud shot one on a 35 foot wreck just 3 miles off the coast of clearwater. :worried:
:fun2:
