Rocky, a banned snakehead fish gets to stay in his home, an aquarium in the home of Chris Deverso.

Snakehead fish can potentially eat all the fish in a body of water and the Department of Environmental Conservation had originally declared the entire species a threat to state waterways. Chris had acquired Rocky legally a decade prior at a pet store.

No one wants to get rid of a pet, even a fish!

It looks like the DEC is going to allow Deverso to have a permit to keep the fish at home. You can read more about Rocky and his plight at his myspace page.
