The ‘Protect Your Pets - Say No to Harmful Positive Lists’ petition is about the future of fishkeeping in the UK.

It responds to proposals that would introduce a ‘positive list’ system. This would limit which species can be legally kept, sold, or traded.

According to the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association, this approach could:

• Reduce the number of species available to a very small list
• Exclude commonly kept fish due to lack of data, not risk
• Create new welfare challenges rather than solving them
• Increase pressure on responsible fishkeepers and aquatic businesses
The petition helps show policymakers how many people this would affect.

If you keep fish or care about responsible fishkeeping, your voice matters.

Please help.

A new proposal being discussed in the UK could significantly change the future of fishkeeping.

This proposal centres on a ‘positive list’ system, in which only a limited number of approved species would be allowed to be kept, sold, or traded. While the intention is to improve animal welfare, there are growing concerns within the industry about the potential unintended consequences.

Industry experts, including the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association (OATA), warn that this approach could:

• Restrict fishkeeping to a very small number of species
• Exclude many commonly kept fish simply due to a lack of available data, rather than any proven risk
• Create more welfare issues, rather than solving them

At present, there is no clear evidence that a positive list system would improve animal welfare outcomes.

This is an important moment for fishkeepers, hobbyists, and businesses to have their voices heard.
