IDAPA 13.01.10.100.01.c
100. PERMITS, REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORT, EXPORT, TRANSPORT AND SALE

c. Ornamental or tropical aquarium fish of varieties commonly accepted for interstate shipment, but not including green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus), walking catfish (family Claridae), bowfin (Amia calva), gar (family Lepiostidae), piranhas (Serrasalmus sp., Rosseveltiella sp. Pygocentrus sp.), rudd (Scardinus erythropthalmus), Ide (Leuciscus idus), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and snakeheads or china fish (Channa sp.). (3-23-94).
but it says you need a permit and then under that it says no permit required… im sure i need a permit i just don’t know where to go to get one. and yes i checked the fish and game website. Thanks for help.
If it says you need a permit for it, its illegal. And the sad thing, they dont normally issue a permit for private collectors. The only permits that are readily available are for something like a public aquarium or for scientific research.
So if you just want to keep one in your house because you think they are cool, you wont get a permit.
If all else, it would be a start to go to a local sheriffs office and ask them about obtaining a permit for an exotic species. But dont get your hopes up.
You will not get it and if you do they will come down on you with a ton of bricks!!!
Those fish are highly illegal in this country and thank god!!!
