Are you a vegetarian? Cause eating meat is 100 times more damaging to the reefs and environment then collecting a 3 inch fish once a month. The by catch of the commercial fishing industry dwarfs any damage that this industry could cause. All of us have much to be guilty about but I hope you don't think your a better person for not having a fish tank. Try going without meat for a few days. Try bicycling to work. Then think about the damage that we do and try to see how this hobby stacks up to some other things. If you want to make the world a better place for animals think about factory farming and the harvesting of fish for human consumption.
