I'm repulsed at some of the comments here. Looks like some people aren't capable of thinking for themselves and just choose to draw their morals from the law.
OP that's unfortunate, you were foolish enough to post that you had an illegal fish on an internet forum...anyway personally I wouldn't like a penny of my tax dollars going to busting people who keep a fish in a fish tank, but oh well.
EXACTLY MY POINT. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF REGRETTABLE SCHADENFREUDE ( german ) meaning pleasure in another persons harm.
Disgusting.
