FAQ:
Is it illegal for me to keep Game Fish? 
- In general--- A stocking permit is required and it is not illegal in most states as long as the regulations are followed. For example, here in California, in some counties you are NOT required to have a stocking permit for certain species of fishes as long as you obtained your fishes from us (a registered and licensed facility). If you are outside of the area that does not require a stocking permit or that you want a species that require a stocking permit, you can easily obtain a stocking permit from the department of Fish and Wildlife. 
- If you are outside of California, please consult with your local Department of Fish and Game before ordering. Some state does not allow the import of game fishes and require an import permit before or after importing. We do not provide legal services. We are a retailer and will not be held liable to any legal outcomes due to your lack of research prior to purchasing. 
Which fish does what? What should I stock in my Pond? What is the Natural Wildlife Balance? 
- BASS controls populations. 
- BLUEGILL (or other perch family) are great natural foragers for predator fishes. They reproduce quickly, controls bugs and unwanted snail infestation. 
- CARP helps control algae and other invasive aquatic plants. even if carps that we carry are not as aggressive plant eaters like the Grass Carp, they will do most of the job. (We do not carry grass carp) They are also great for bottom clean up. They will eat any overfed foods that sunk to the bottom. 
- CATFISH, Great for pond clean up. They'll eat dead fishes, crawling critters, overfed foods, and control populations. Choose wisely, as some catfish are more aggressive than others.
