Why did you say it is quite chilly up in the north lol? temperature has nothing to do with you owning fish lol. not sure why it is illegal but i found that kind of funny
My guess is that usually when a fish is outlawed in an area there is a concern that it could be released into the local waters and do harm to native fish populations.The climate there does not seem to suit pirahna or other tropical fish so the question stands....Why are they illegal?
Well i figured out why he said it was chilly, just wasnt computing it for some reason. Asked my buddy and he said it is because they can be released into the waters and survive, the waters need to be above 63 or so for a piranha to survive and thrive. My best guess is somebody awhile ago released some piranhas into the water and they where found and then made illegal.
Even piranhas and pacus are struggling to survive in southern United States and it appeared that they cannot even reproduce in United States.
If u put adult fish in the wild it will die because its used to being fed daily but if u take fry and put them in during spring by next year they would be full sized and have adapted our major water sources like the colombia or pugetsound stay the same temp year round but perfect size unfreezable lakes make great breeding grounds.people and dinosaurs adapted to survive where are fish different
