I live in Colorado and this is the entire Illegal List as of 2010... Is there anything on here I'm missing that says I cannot own a Payara? I just want to double check before I attempt to order one...

7. PROHIBITED SPECIES: These species and their viable eggs are detrimental to other fish and habitat in
Colorado. Unless authorized in writing by DOW for controlled and experimental purposes only, it is illegal to
export, import, transport, stock, sell, acquire and possess for release these species: piranha; trahira; gar (all
species); snakeheads or murrels; sticklebacks; walking catfish; tilapia; bowfins; rudd; zebra mussels; quagga
mussels; New Zealand mud snail; Eurasian ruffe; white perch; rusty crayfish; carp (silver, Indian, bighead,
giant barb, mrigal, largescale sliver, rohu, black and mahseers); Asian swamp eel; green frog and gobies..

I've seen people on here that own them who leave here in Colorado so I'm sure I can... Just making sure I'm not missing anything in this short list.
 
Close but you are good.Theres Pirahna and Trahira which I think is the Ace barracudas but no payara on the list.
 
Yep,now that I recall correctly.I first saw the name in my Axelrods Atlas years ago.
