General Principles Across States:

Illegal to Release: It is universally illegal and highly discouraged to release any aquarium fish into public waterways (lakes, rivers, ponds, oceans). This is the primary mechanism for invasive species introduction.

Prohibited Species: Many states maintain lists of "prohibited," "restricted," "injurious," or "harmful" species that cannot be possessed, sold, or imported without a special permit (often for scientific or educational purposes). These commonly include piranhas, snakeheads, certain catfish, and other species deemed a threat to native ecosystems or human safety.

Permit Requirements: Some species that aren't outright prohibited may require a permit for possession or importation.

Disease Prevention: Some states have regulations regarding the health certification of imported fish.
