Butterfly Fish

Warning! I am not trying to start a fight or make people upset. I am by no means an expert on fish care. This morning I just saw this link and was surprised to see what was on there. Are there an educated thoughts on what this moderator has put on the list of fish not to be kept in an aquarium. I myself am try to lessen my environmental impact with my tank.

So, what do you all think?

everyone has there opinion ..they feel so strongly about theirs they present it as fact ...lol
from what i see their list has some merit but experienced reef-keepers can keep some of those fish listed as never to be kept in an aquarium

My guess is that some fish are listed under the worst case scenario, playing to the lowest common denominator.

See lots of old and misleading info on that list. For instance many of the fish listed as rare are only rare because people don't collect in the area for instance Clarion Angels in their home range are extremly common just not were people can catch them easily.
