Man i was getting ready to pack my bags and head to NY..

So here's a thought. If it's illegal to import them why can't somebody in Maryland or wherever they're not wanted try to collect them from the wild and raise them in their aquarium? Not unlike catching a bluegill or catfish from the lake and putting them in your tank.

Are they illegal to posses too?

Yes - in fact, in most states where they have invaded the water you can be fined if you don't kill the fish after you catch it. The reason being that taking them home simply recreates the cycle that introduced them into foreign waters in the first place.

Great, so just because of one uneducated ignoramus decided to spare the life of his dinner ruined it for everybody else.
