Illegal species to keep in Japan (if you're bored or curious enough to take a look)

[piranhaman00]

Why would channels be named but not other types of cats?

Maybe because they can tolerate the cold temps in Japan better than other cats. Considered an invasive species perhaps?

I'd never be able to live there, wouldn't be keeping fish if it weren't for my North Americans which have gotten me through some tough times in the hobby.

You'd be keeping japanese natives though...

Channels are the only larger cat that ever gets exported from the US.

If I was born and raised there then yes, just saying I couldn't move there.

That's a very small list. You guys are quite lucky. Thanks for sharing.

Well, it's OK to own all the snakeheads here for sure!
Thanks!

Great place to keep fishes!

Yet, our homes are too small to house monsters
Thanks

I'd be lost over there, like 5 of my favorites on that list!

I feel for you, mate. I think Pikes, Channel Catfish, and European Perch are rads. Too bad.
Thanks!

Interesting,....someone on another thread was just saying how popular US natives are in some parts of Asia

Well, the North American fish have some cult followers in Japan just like the film, "Buckaroo Banzai."
Thanks!

Interesting list. Do you have a link to the government site that promulgates these lists?

I just found the list written in English. I'll attatch the PDF below.
Thanks!
