Why am I still able to buy illegal fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
State run websites are accurate unless they are outdated. Fish stores should not be selling illegal species no matter how common they are or of they are banned in other states. I have found illegal species in fish stores. Sometimes the fish store is just misinformed, other times they are selling a specifies that they know is illegal just to make profit. State run websites are not propaganda. If a fish store is selling a fish that you know is illegal, DON'T BUY IT.
This is weston weston we're talking to, you might as well be talking to a brick wall. He's going to do what he wants and if he hears the wrong thing he'll have a fit and ignore you. Hence why he won't ever see the messages I've responded to.

Illegal activity is still not tolerated on MFK.

Remind me what I told him. I never advocated for him to buy it I just used a large dosage of sarcasm to try to make him think about how he sounds right now.

His reading skills could use a touch up. The state website is pretty clear about what is restricted here. And spiney eels and peacock bass aren't on the list.
Careful. He might ignore you for pointing out a flaw:p

Asian arowanas are banned in the US. Not just texas.
I know Asian arowana are federally banded
Also I wasn't stating I was gonna buy any of these fish but I would enjoy owning a pair of stingrays and I'm finding it hard to believe all species are banned and even my local petco sells these eels

Your local petco should not be sell them. No matter how many stores in your state carries a banned species, you should not buy the banned species and those stores should not be selling the banned species. Just because they have them, doesn't mean you should buy them.

lol ok I'm not arguing you, I didn't put this up to fight with anyone. I was just stating they are their for sell and that I wanted one of the fish on this list. I was checking to see how legit this was and how the stores were able to do these things if they are in fact illegal nvm.

I do not want to argue with anyone either. I am just saying you can want to have all of the banned fish you want, but you can not buy them, even though your store has them. You can not buy them because they are illegal. A store can sell an illegal fish, but that does not make it legal.
