Cambarellus On Website

[Kevin_D]

Just noticed wildwoods on tropicalfishfinder listing Cambarellus patzcuarensis

http/www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/stores...4&prod=1159

I thought they were illegal, or has it changed? hoefully thats the case, as i'd like to order them, but would like confirmation whether its ok to keep them? if not I wont order any.

AFAIK nothing has changed in the law regarding crays in the UK,
however I'm guessing that with the announced budget cuts for DEFRA
that shops are going to import more illegals hoping DEFRA can't enforce the law.

Also, given that DEFRA never bothered to contact me about my illegal cray,
I doubt anything would happen if you purchased one.

well i dont know if they are illegal but they sure are pretty, i saw them there the other day

As Wolf said, Defra shouldn't care that much, they're unlikely to be able to survive in UK waters (being tropical, small and orange).
