Fyi, I received a letter from the provincial government outlining the new regulations coming into effect January 2016. I will post a complete list once I'm not working on my old(and super slow) laptop. But as of January, snakeheads are banned in Alberta unless dead. If you need further info, please call 1-855-336-3427..

This is very sad to hear , is their any information available online in regards to this list and what gov agency is banning them??

Didn't find anything online but I read most of the letter at a lfs outlining that all Channa species are banned in Alberta as of Jan 1st. I am trying to find it online so I can paste the link.

Maybe I should stick some of my holdbacks up for sale to give people a chance before the ban takes effect . I'm assuming that any that are/were purchased before the ban will be grandfathered in .

I've read a few places that there will be no grandfathering.... :(

Always great to see the windfall from an NDP govt! Oil, coal, farming and hobbyists! Sounds like a Merry Christmas moment until they ban it as well!

Socialist utopia has only just begun hold on you haven't seen every thing thats in store for us yet.

Thanks for the info ! Too bad nobody is fighting this , it seems ridiculous to ban all channa over one potential invasive species .

Espicallt so ce most channa look nothing like argus do they should be worried about misidentification. Argus is also rarely traded as aquarium species in the ranges where it has been introduced it was from agricultural sources not hobbiests.

I will be righting to find out about the grandfathering thing . Not that I can see them hunting down hobbiests but if they are going to perhaps I could offer them a home if/when they are found.

Does Anyone know of any organization in your province who is fighting this?
