New York, piranhas are illegal (that is what I heard). Also California has lots of illegal fish for sale (not surprised).
Connecticut also has piranhas banned. Used to know of a supplier in conn that had red bellies listed as red belly pacu buut that didnt last long.

Simple fact is irresponsible people already let other types of fish into water ways in many areas and its damaging the local fish populations and even making some fish extinct and costing local authorities millions of dollars and because of that they have put bans to not allow those fish that are most likely to damage the local populations. You want a snakehead because they are an amazing predator fish with an amazing appetite. If they got into the local water ways where they could thrive in the water temp they would eventually kill just about everything.
.......is that what the media feeds you with their misinformation? It doesn't make any senses that they banned whole snakehead genus because a solely cold-tolerant species got loose. 99% of snakehead species were subtropic/tropical and can't survive anywhere beside South Florida and Hawaii.
I'm just trying to say I don't think irresponsible people should have them,ok I know there has to be something they can do to make sure the fish won't breed,and if it died make a contract that states any fish that died freeze it and return it,could not sell nor give away fish,fine if you do anything and break your contract and dint have the fish with jail time,no bail?
I think that sounds reasonable
I'm talking about all illegal fish not just snakeheads and gars

Plus, nobody cares about bullseye snakehead in Florida for 20 years and goes unnoticed till its famous cousin, northern snakehead shows up 10 years ago. The bullseye snakeheads have co-existed with all natives and exotics for 20 years just fine. Also there's no negative impacts on ecosystem from northern snakeheads.
It's funny thing is that koi carp is allowed to be kept, yet their wild relatives (same species) causes negative impacts on ecosystems.

depends on what you mean by legal? Like a LFS can sell walking catfish here in CO and their illegal... But the walking catfish is really only illegal to import into the states... Meaning that even though it's illegal and considered an invasive species it is NOT illegal to sell them here if they are already here or someone is breeding them within the states... Weird huh..
No I just know fish, and I also know people who are eco stupid friendly and other tree friendly types. Have you ever put wild cold water fish in with cichlids?? Do you think they can live in such waters for years?
