I've heard there are thriving feral populations of oscars in Florida, though I don't remember where I heard that. On 2/3/2023 at 10:50 PM, Mynameisnobody said: I didn’t realize capybara were a fish? I’m pretty sure it’s a rodent, but I could be wrong. I did a search for "capybara fish" and learned that the Vatican declared capybara (and beavers, apparently) as fish for purposes of Lent! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican has a large following in South America, and capybara is a good source there… Capybara fricassé? Capybara Tacos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Loads of stuff considered potentially invasive (for instance all floaters) here in Texas, not quite as many are actually illegal to keep or to buy/sell, but enough you have to pay attention when buying. If you want something bad enough, you can get it, but the ones that are banned are banned for very good reason so why push it? We aren’t like some states that are more tightly regulated (Texans are, in general, against excess laws), but there are some plants, fish, snails, inverts that are invasive enough to have been made illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
