Hi,a new predatoy species has been added to the food chain,nothing more nothing less,something that has happened world wide,consider for example the introduction of silurus glanis in europe.
Those ecosystems took a long time to develop. Suddenly adding a new species, especially a predator is bound to have negative effects. Unless you know exactly how the ecosystem will cope with it, you cant say for sure that its not a problem. Then again, even introducing a new species limits resources for natives, just because its eating stuff/occupying some space. That means less natives, you can twist that any way you want but at the end of the day its bad.
how about piranhas? so many more of them have been irresponsibly released in states now illegal and they haven't had any population boom or take-over, they just seem to be "discovered" in the lakes ever now and again. but most of them die off even if they can live in the waters year-round.
perhaps they are sooo instinctive, they travel down whatever stream they where released from (ie the mississippi etc), through mexico, all the way back down to the amazon with compelling radar/GPS-like receptors in their brains!!

Hi,thats right we cant convict predatory only,there is a great number of fishes predatory fishes and non ,which adapt to other ambients,creating a negative impact. This is not caused by nature but by man,the solution is not to ban species but in a education of people who keep fish.
Snakeheads are NOT illegal in all states the Federal law simply prohibits the transportation across state lines or importation into the United states or it posessions.-Anne
