Illegal fish

[Aussienative]

SA is full on strict compared to other states!

Have a read... http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/pages/fisheries/environmental/aquarium.htm:sectID=1983&tempID=1

What i got from that site was, if it's on the first list you can keep it... if its on the second list you need a permit.... if its not on any of the lists.... move to another state! lol

Here in Queensland, if its not on the noxious list you can keep it

the great weather in Australia permits for great fish keeping

Thank goodness for the USA

Can you actually get snakeheads though? I want one and would drive up there from NSW if i new where to find one anf they werent 1000s of $.
I saw some wierd things on the list though. Like it says serra pirhanas are illegal so what about pygos?? Since its not on the list i guess technically its legal.
Same with ATFs is says no goliaths but doesnt mention any other species.

Pygo's still under serrasalminae(from what I understand) so they would still be illegal. If you don't mind our harsh fines and jail time maybe you can try importing some babies rbp's with some similar looking tetras. Or not.

NAh not that keen on piranhas it would just of been cool if there was loopholes.

snakeheads are also illegal in Australia. Several states list them as noxious species. In other states, SHs are not on the approved species lists.
