Due to the detailed issues
involved in accumulating and sustaining this list, such as constant additions
of species, and revisions in nomenclature and classification of risk, it is a
perpetual work in progress. Please refer to the most current revisions which
will be made readily available to you. Together,
lets bring a positive future for these fish, and reverse the growth of this
list!
A CARES note: As
responsible aquarists it is essential that you familiarize yourself with
foreign and US wildlife laws. The
C.A.R.E.S. Preservation Program recognizes only those fishes that are
within the bounds of all laws, both foreign and domestic. Species that are not available to hobbyists
for regulatory reasons are not included on this list. Working together, CARES thanks you!
