The importation or transportation of the grass carp or white amur (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is prohibited in California by the California Fish and Game Commission [Title 14, Section 671, California Code of Regulations].
The importation or transportation of the decollate snail (Rumina decollata) is prohibited in California by the California Fish and Game Commission, except in the counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Tulare, and Ventura with the concurrence of the appropriate county agricultural commissioner [Title 14, Section 671, California Code of Regulations]. On August 6, 1993, the California Fish and Game Commision authorized the use of decollate snail in citrus orchards in Kern, Fresno, and Madera counties. Their use requires the approval of the appropriate county agricultural commissioner. Except for the above 12 counties, the use of the decollate snail in California is prohibited.
 
In Minnesota

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
The List of Minnesota fish lists fish found naturally in Minnesota waters, including Lake Superior. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota is home to 158 fish species.
The species data on this page is taken from the Minnesota DNR, which also uses several labels to indicate a fish's status within Minnesota waters. An endangered fish species is near extinction in Minnesota, a threatened species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future, and a special concern species is either extremely uncommon in Minnesota or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements.
Several types of Minnesota fish are considered non-native invasive species. A prohibited invasive species is illegal to possess in Minnesota without a permit, and a regulated invasive species is legal to possess but still may not be released into public waters. Many invasive fish species are nonetheless already well-established.

VIRGINIA:

4 VAC 15-30-10 - Possession, importation, sale, etc., of wild animals.

Under the authority of §§ 29.1-103 and 29.1-521 of the Code of Virginia it shall be unlawful to take, possess, import, cause to be imported, export, cause to be exported, buy, sell, offer for sale, or liberate within the Commonwealth any wild animal unless otherwise specifically permitted by law or regulation. Unless otherwise stated, for the purposes of identifying species regulated by the board, when both the scientific and common names are listed, the scientific reference to genus and species will take precedence over common names.

4 VAC 15-30-40 - Importation requirements, possession and sale of nonnative (exotic) animals. A. Permit required. A special permit is required and may be issued by the department, if consistent with the department's fish and wildlife management program, to import, possess, or sell those nonnative (exotic) animals listed below that the board finds and declares to be predatory or undesirable within the meaning and intent of § 29.1-542 of the Code of Virginia, in that their introduction into the Commonwealth will be detrimental to the native fish and wildlife resources of Virginia:

In addition, gamefish may not be possessed alive (that means no channel cats, or bullhead, or bluegill, etc.)



There do not appear to be any laws about aquarium fish, other than the federal laws. I have found several areas that say aquarium and pond species are not regulated. However, that may be about to change, as they are working on the invasive species problem, and some species may end up banned over that.
 
Here's all I could find for Minnesota.
