Illegal fish?

Question

I know since koi are so hardy they are illegal in maine because they are considered invasive. Are white clouds also illegal here?

robert, i said nothing about wanting koi or thinking htey were beneficial to the enviornment, I would like some white clouds for my aquarium

if you people want more specific, i want white cloud mountain minnows

Answer 1

i dont know about main but here in oregon we have very few illegal fish so ill guess no but you never know contact your local fish and wildlife agency for a good solid answer

Answer 2

Good question,White Clouds could possibly survive some of the year in some streams in Maine,but I doubt if they could make it through the winter there. To find out about the legality, you could contact the Fish and Wildlife Dept. or the Conservation Dept. in your state. It might help if you knew the Latin name for White Clouds. Could probably find that on Google. Hope this helps. PeeTee

Answer 3

white clouds are NOT illegal anywhere..they are tropical and would die outside in Maine winters.
Koi illegal???? I doubt it. OK...I just looked it up, and crazy Maine considers koi the scourge of the Earth. I dont' think I will be moving to maine soon, but that has nothing to do with Koi fish.

Answer 4

koi are particularly aggressive mutant types of common carp. this means that they not only fight with other fish, they reproduce rapidly, eat the young of other species and the favorite foods of the other types. they can be used for other activities but the locals are rightly afraid of interrupting the food chains in the salmonid lines(trout and salmon) koi have few natural enemies other than komodo dragons native to the pacific islands and kodiak bears. why would you think that this creature is a benefit to the habitat???

Answer 5

clouds are legal but can i be frank, who gives a sh*t! I will keep any damn fish i want. Let someone come and try to take my piranha and see if they dont get bit up. hope i helped...

F*CK THE LAW!

Answer 6

Skittles,

I'm not sure about what is illegal in Maine. Try stopping by the native fish forums at FishGeeks where there are several experts in what is available in the US.

Answer 7

yes u can have white clouds in maine. (unless they recently changed the list)

Answer 8

I dunno but you can check with your wildlife and game offices as here they have extensive lists of animals that are and are not allowed in the state.
