Blacklisted species

Hi Professor. I hope professor can give some advice on blacklisted species. I was or banned from the site for a few days for having a BL specie. Seems as I am going to be banned again for for a while. Who chooses and why are some species blacklisted in South Africa?

I have some Rainbow cichlids thats suppose to be blacklisted. I had a chat to a friend who runs a pet shop and he said he does not think its blacklisted. He had some chocolate cichlids in a display tank and they look nearly identical to my Rainbows. They breed like bunnies but the fry gets eaten after a while by the other 2 pair so I am not trading in fish. I bought the first pair from a FS in Bellville and the other 2 pair privately.

I had a look on the forum and its been mentioned in a thread on the forum that they are BL.

I saw a picture of a guy on the website with a picture of a Rainbow next to his name. What do we do with the fish then? Keep them or dispose of them.

Can someone maybe start a list with the normal name before the scientific. I cant even pronounce some of those names.

Any idea on this professor?

Thanks again.

Anton
