I know wild caught fish are illegal to buy or sell, I was just wondering about their fry if you breed them. It's not a big deal, I might never get them to breed, and that's if I manage to catch any. And I only saw a list about exotic/banned species which doesn't include sunfish.

I don't think it has much to do with wild caught/ tank bred/ etc. more so about being a banned or protected species, mostly.
Think these are only restricted by law with method of acquisition.Last edited by eklikewhoa; 08-01-2012, 11:21 PM.700g Mini-Monster tank

Neither the texas cichlid or sunfish has a statewide bag limit or minimum length. Provided they arent caught in those certain areas that are banned there would be no law against the sale of either.

I was wrong about the sale of non-game fish caught from public waters. I am still searching for info on private waters though. Such as the fish from our land.(3 acres of swamp)

I'm almost 100% sure longears are not a protected species. And wild caught fish are illegal to sell, regardless of species, you can only give them away. I'm guessing this is so people don't make a business out of it and purposely harvest a ton of fish. To me though, it would seem logical that you could sell their fry, since those are not technically wild caught, as long as the fish is not banned, in which case it would be illegal to possess it in the first place. But I don't know what the law officially says about that.
