Yea, but there's a good bet bet no one from DNR is going to come in my backyard and ask if I have caught any fish in my 30 foot wide creek in Illinois, let alone ask to see my aquarium! The chances are slim to none, and I'm willing to take the chance over buying $8 cichlids when bluegills, in my opinion, are much cooler and they're free!Check out NANFA. Some states wont allow you to keep wild caught fish in the aquariam. http://www.nanfa.org/
'I completely agree xpmr5. Going out and catching your fish is sooo rewarding and cheap too. Most people can better take care of local fish as well. It's easier to determine what to feed them (and food is readily available) and they're temp/water requirements are generally easier to replicate. However, I agree with some above when they warn about disease transmission. You simply cannot let another one return to the stream.
On a side note....try going out and catching a fry or two out of the shallows. Its the perfect time of year and you can watch em grow up from babies! It's a blast.
