Wtf Jags are illegal?

[kevinfleming21]

Yeah I was lost on that comment too...

what's with the all caps thing?

it is a jag, some places still classify them under Cichlasoma. My lfs' wholesaler list has dovii and jaguars listed under Cichlasoma instead of Parachromis.

thank you, I was wondering about this and what the reasoning being.

but then this question arises, if you classify it under Parachromis, not Cichlasoma, are would they then NOT be illegal?

I think you saw this: (16) Jaguar guapote, Cichlidae Family (Cichlasoma managuense).

This is on the restricted species list, but this is not a Jag cichlid. They are not illegal.

yea, thats a Jag. They are classified different in different states for some reason.

Thats a good question. I dont have a clue. I think in the end, the feds would triumph.

true I guess, but i am a stubborn fool. Maybe the OP should pm oddball and ask him about arguing this fact. Would be interesting to say the least.

I doubt the scientific reclassification of the fish would give you a leg to stand on. Both names are representative of the same fish and a fact that would be easily proven in court.
