i was wondering do u need a permit to own rays in california i dont know about alligator gars either but my lfs had some babies of them but would i need a permit for both rays and the gars?
+1 and they're not cheap...jcardona1;4105033; said:they are illegal to own. you cannot get a permit, only places like zoos, public aquarium, research facilities, etc.
how did the person even get the ray?cudamaster13;4107728; said:did they used to be legal here becuase last year my favorite lfs had someone give them a 150 gallon tank that they didnt want anymore and a large black stingray with white spots came with it my lfs said they are no longer exported
well somehow it was owned becuase i even saw it i dont know wat the lfs did with it but it was black with white spots i know they didnt sell it thoOddball;4110472; said:Gars haven't been legal since the early 80s. And, I've never seen FW riverine rays available the whole time I lived in socal (77-97)
also they were true baby alligator gars this was a different lfs then the one with the ray here in temecula this was at a huge shop in san diego i was looking for tats but only ended up getting a earth eater cichlidOddball;4110472; said:Gars haven't been legal since the early 80s.
