Our local fish club is having a fish collection outing this coming weekend. All you need
in Ohio is a valid fishing license, which costs $15 for the entire year. I know that a
bunch of people are going since it is such a great way to stock your tanks with great
fish.

I suspect one of the reasons for the regulatory hurdles is to avoid cross breeding and
hybrids. That could happen just as easy in the wild but I suspect it would happen more
often in the tank.
