Hi. While these species are native to North America, any fish that has been kept at pet stores and home aquariums have been exposed to some crazy, exotic diseases that they often end up carrying. Dumping these fish into a river could very easily introduce a new disease that would wipe out entire populations, if not an entire species. Make sure these kids find a good home where they can get huge and not spread creepy diseases. I wish you the best of luck getting these guys a good home. Post them here in the Classifieds, Market Place. Your best option is to offer them for free. I can not imagine you will get money for these guys. A good, large home is often extremely hard to find.
