South Africa-Restricted Species

[SalmonAfrica]

That list is way too old... I've seen some of those species avaliable, so I don't think anyone can take much of that list seriously anymore.

The List is there for import purposes i.e. you are not allowed to import those species although it still happens, stricktly speacking apple snails are illegal to import but they still come in which i'm happy about. I'm not looking forward to when someone get a bee in his bonnet and kickes up a fuss. On a lighter note it is not illegal to own those species or at least that is what my sources tell me.

I dunno.... a LOT of our fish come from overseas sources, and if people were following this list, then there would be some fuss.

Apparently all freshwater crustaceans and amphibians are banned, but I've seen Dwarf and Clawed Frogs (I'm sure the Dwarves are from overseas), some shrimp, and some fish as well.

I think I'm going to try get into contact with the government and get an updated list. If applicable.

I went to my lfs asking for some shrimp,and the guy told that they are against the law.So I got to thinking,were am I going to find a river or a stream.go catch some wild ones.
Also Ive been to difrent provinces and could'nt find any fs that could get me arowanas or even knew what they are.
