Wildlife belongs in the wild. The capture, handling and trade in reef wildlife for aquariums harms fragile reef ecosystems and destroys fish communities. 99% of the fish taken from the wild die within a year of capture. Fish live in complex families, feel pain, have distinct personalities, and are critical to a healthy reef. The Dark Hobby directed by Paula Fouce, asks for your help.

All the Pretty Fish and the Price Paid to Tank Them

Hawaii is ground zero in the global struggle to save reef wildlife. The Dark Hobby follows Native Hawaiians, conservationists & scientists who stop at nothing to ensure the survival of these creatures that are targets of a worldwide trade worth billions. They fight reef degradation & ensure the survival of marine habitat & species that live for decades in the wild. Scientific research shows that fish have feelings, experience pain, recognize human faces, & sing!
