To apply for a conditional species permit you can be an individual or business with an aquaculture license.
The state will do a physical inspection of your facilities to see if it meets the standards and requirements. If it does then the state will grant you a permit. At the end of each year you have to turn in an inventory of all conditional species imported in and where each one was sold.
There is a difference between conditional and prohibited species. In Florida, prohibited species like tiger fish, piranha, snakeheads, etc can only be possessed by public aquariums, zoos or public exhibits.
