i would say go for it, own what u want. Ive had 15 payara shipped to ky no problems, tiger characin is to broad doesnt apply to us. scombs, tats, and rhaphs, without a prob, only an occasional hater on mfk.
Drgnfrc what part of ky are you from? And I am just about on the verge to say the hell with it if I can't get a straight answer and go with keeping a single Esox Niger in place of the tats. Atleast then I know that fish is legal to keep.
