Toothy Legal Fish in California

[JesseJamez]

What kinds of fish with teeth can I get in California?

I know that Alligator Gars are illegal. Are any species not?

Snakeheads and piranhas are also out of the question...

The only toothy fishes I've ever kept are African Pikes.

[JesseJamez]

The fish in green are out of the question.
The fishes in red, Mostly all of them go over 2ft

Just go with some Exodon Tetras or a erythrinus wolf fish

Expounding on ExoticGREEN's post, the genus Esox is illegal to keep in CA. As are all true Gar, Piranhas, FW Rays, Snakehead (duh), Asian Aro's (duh), Wolf Fish, Most Natives, Bowfin, and other random stuff very few of us keep.

I have a 160 gallon tank. Could I keep a northern pike in it? And if so, where can I get a northern pike?

Also I would be interested in keeping a Largemouth Bass, if anybody knows anyone who keeps little guys... Same goes for northern pike.
