Not arrested but there could be some fines at the border.

Lol you are probably right. I won't breed and sell them just incase. Lol

Think you would be allowed to order/ship them?

You need a 400$ permit to import fish from other countries even the us.

Even if you are ordering them of a website?

 

[calfishguy]

Even if you are ordering them of a website?

Yes because you are importing them not the website. It's a new law. Most fish will now go up in price. The government is trying to stop invasive species. I don't think it's a bad thing we will get more higher quality stock that is actually bred locally.

I guess that's true. Oh well. Guess I won't be getting glofish then

Here's my set up with normal lighting, again only the red, yellow, and green really glow under the Glowlight, but cardinals tetras look amazing in it.

Awesome!

If you want something interesting have you considered dwarf puffers.

I'm not 100% sure why they are illegal other than because they are copyrighted/patented.

These fish were originally designed by the US military (im not sure of the purpose) and they are stingy. They are the only group allowed to supply the fish for a profit.

There is a loophole which is you can "give the fry away" but you can't make a penny from them.

But you can't 'give the fry away' to someone in Canada right?

No they don't that's a common misconception. DPs ante 100% freshwater fish.

Some lfs will have them if you live in the us you can simply order them from live aquaria. Be warned tho that they need to be in a species only tank and you could only put 2 max in a ten gallon. Terrance here on aa knows a lot about these. I suggest you do some research on them before acquiring a few specimens. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

When you say species only tank, do you mean fish species, or you couldn't have invertebrates either?
