bowfin

I'm jealous, I've wanted one for the longest time. Never see them for sale, tho. Is there a sticky on bowfin legality out there somewhere? They're native to WI as far as I know, although I've never seen one.

Theyre native in WA too, actually, induced. But illegal to own in a tank.

WA is pretty strict on fish restrictions isn't it? P's are illegal too if I remember right.

Not too bad, Only a few species, Bowfin, Channa, mostly stuff thats banned in alot of places. P's are banned, but I could get them easy as cake if I really wanted too. My LFS always asks me if I want any whenever I talk about cichlids. "You want agressive fish? I can get Pirahna!"

i got one about 2 years ago and he eats like a beast but growing slow as hell. Id say he was 7 inches when i got him and now hes 12. i thoght they would grow faster. He gets pushed around by my black line pike and my large clown knife but nothing harmful.
