Here are some simple ideas about how you can support this campaign from the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association and protect your hobby.

Four Easy things you can do to share your passion for keeping fish

1
Write to your local prospective parliamentary candidates about our campaign. Ask them about their stance on exotic pets and if they support the idea that people should not be keeping tropical fish as pets in UK homes.

You can use this template letter and please do add your own experiences of keeping fish to make the letter more personal. Feel free to paste the main contents of this letter into an email but don't forget to include your address so that they can see you are a constituent. The WriteToThem website is an easy way to write to your MP.

And please let OATA know if you get a reply - we want to build up a picture of what politicians are saying about exotic pet keeping.
