you can't let them go back into the while for ethical and legal reasons, but also keep in mind there might be laws regarding taking native fish
a turtles setup isn't much different than a fish setup the only diffeerence is better filtration, basking dock, heat lamp, and uvb lamp, other than that it's not that special..........Greenspot;2428926; said:
but back to the thread, i have wondered the same question, I also fish alot, there is a dam I go to that has some really big and beautiful sun fish, and I always wanted to bring one home
it usually depends on the species. In tx, at least, if they aren't protected and you have a license to catch game fish; you are allowed to keep them (what's the difference between an aquarium and a skillet?). Just a big no no on releasing them.
