In addition to federal penalties the locals can add their charges and penalties. They can also ban you from owning fish tanks for at least two years and be able to check at anytime. You will also pick up a felony and lose the right to own firearms.
Asian aros can also get you in trouble with Customs, another felony, and might get you a CITES violation in which case they might deny you a passport and will definitely cause a hassle when travelling back from overseas, expect a thorough customs inspection everytime.
As far as getting caught, I have seen programs and read articles about sting operations that arrange traffic in illegal wildlife in order to bust buyers and trafficers. A couple years ago they busted people all over the country for illegal parrots.
