Pair of Flame Hawkfish, Neocirrhites armatus.<br />
As members of SAIA (Sustainable Aquarium Industry<br />
Association), we fight for increased awareness among<br />
aquarists that certain fishes (for example, all Acanthurus<br />
and Naso species, large Zebrasoma, all large angelfishes,<br />
and numerous specialized feeders) should not be kept in<br />
the normal domestic aquarium. The trade (apart from<br />
a very small number of dealers) appears to be unable<br />
to act responsibly and stop offering such fishes as part<br />
of the standard species selection. We are, however, convinced<br />
that it is possible to create an interesting, lively<br />
reef aquarium without including problem fishes. This is<br />
a subject that will undoubtedly be much discussed in the<br />
future. The SAIA Fish Selector, a source of information<br />
for responsible and conscientious aquarists, will shortly<br />
be available as a web tool and should help us aquarists<br />
select an appropriate fish population for any tank.<br />
