perches in hawaii

[Bsixxx]

I know barramundi are legal, but what other species are legal in hawaii?
I'll be heading back for the 3rd time.. but this time might be for a few years..

Anyway, looking for the folowing fish if they are legal in hawaii.
Lates niloticus, Lates sp "Lake Tanganyika", Lates japonicus, Lates calcarifer, Salminus maxillosus??? silver arowana?

never saw any of these on the prohibated list so, please let me know..
I already have a tank there, but wont need these for a few months, just like to know..

I leave in two months to kapaa, kauai.
also need fishin spots around there for the locals..

 

[A. IMPORTZ]

No lates species are legal here...kind of sucks

 

[Bsixxx]

can be imported with a permit from the Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture for commercial or private purposes.

Lates calcarifer bass, Asian sea
FAMILY Channidae
Ophiocephalus (Channa) striatus pongee (snakehead)

is this not true anymore or what?

 

[Hwarang_Samurai]

I think they are only brought in food for food purposes. I see them selling pongee and barammundi at china town the barramundi are already dead but the pongee must be killed before sold. so yeah Hawaii's Ag sucks.

Well I believe that Hawaii has the least selection of Freshwater Fish in the nation because of our stupid AG. Well thats just my opinion.

Those are legal but we cant have a lot of other stuff like the other states do.
Whatever is on the Legal List is the only fish the pet stores could bring in.
