It does raise the issue of our restrictive import laws. When new species become popular aquarium pets overseas if they aren't allowed in here then there is going to be an increased likelihood of smuggling, which could have far worse consequences for the environment if potential pest species are also smuggled in.

I remember seeing discrepancies between articles and alleged potential consequences so who really knows.
