keeping illegal fish

doesn't it drop down to freezing in FL every once in a while? I'd think that alot of the tropical fish couldn't deal with that. has FL had issues with giant snakehead aswell or just the northern?

I think the northern snake head is a undesirable fish and as such loosing it not a big blow to the trade but the rest of the family is simply amazing and that is what makes me furious.
I still think the notion of invasive species and conservation is pretty ridiculous. Our laws have no continuity. I just feel that while lots of people make great grand notions of solutions to this issue the only one I see working would be something that regulates all pet trades no picking on reptiles or fish.
We previously had a brief discussion on feral dogs and cats and I had a talk with my mom last night and she told me growing up in a rural town of less than 1,000 people total that they had feral dogs and cats and not just around the town but if you would drive out to a farmer who was over a mile from another person he'd say how much trouble they caused. They where worse than coyotes or foxes.
So all I'm saying is that PETS in general will be invasive species in the wrong hands. I think this is proof that we either ban them all or create a universal piece of legislation or repeal all legislation for all pets. Uniformity would simplify things and create a more fair industry/trade and experience for consumers.

I feel fish bans should be on a state by state basis. The RBP is banned in certain states and not in others. I can own all the RBP I want here in Wisconsin. Goldfish can survive our winters up here but they aren't banned.
I found this on the Wisconsin DNR site. Found it pretty interesting that they took the time to determine what snakehead species can and cannot survive the winter.

Not sure what use it is but found it interesting non the less.

if that meant we could keep those animals that would be nice instead it looks like the findings are superfluous.
interesting to see where the discussion went.
and to the people questioning my statements, when you make it out of your parents basement or get time off from high school and can make it out to socal i'll introduce you to my neighbor and you can tell him he doesn't keep the fish he has in his garage. or i can introduce you to a couple of the LFS owners i know and you can tell them they don't really have Marble motoros and BD rays.
the teenage element on this forum has just about ruined it.

Its nice in certain subjects and more difficult in ones that require perspective for sure.

It does occassionally drop to temps detrimental to invasives in FL. In fact, there are several threads from this past winter discussing the cold snap die-off of millions of tropicals in many areas of FL.
