I am moving this to the correct forum but not sure why you are looking for a fish that you cannot legally keep in this state...
here is the law:
§2118. Unlawful To Import, Etc. Specified Animals; Exceptions
It is unlawful to import, transport, possess, or release alive into this state, except under a revocable, nontransferable permit as provided in this chapter and the regulations pertaining thereto, any wild animal of the following species:
