found this nile perch for sale, and I remembered that there was a ban on them coming into the us but if you already own its legal so

Thanks. I've been looking at this for a long time, seems like a year. The $$ is tight now, unfortunately. The price was too high IMHO before the ban but now after the ban, it is reasonable.
