Just like the title says, why are they illegal in California. I think freshwater rays are cool and wish I can get some. The Doctor.

Hey, thanks.
 
because they can survive in warm cali waters, just like in florida, and the government doesn't want them to be another foreign species to be added to a growing list
 
Mainly due to irresponsible keepers and probably a bit of hype.
 
Was there a time when they were legal in California?
 
They cause cancer just like everything thing does in cali.
