It looks too much like corn on the cob and it would be too confusing to Iowans.

That is a golden dojo loach, and they are basically water ferrets that fart.

Are there any organisms that don't, in some manner, fart? I can assure you that when I had a land ferret, she certainly did. I've occasionally been guilty of it myself.

edit: But, you know, only very occasionally.

These guys are the "rolling coal" farters of the fish world. They're also called weather loaches because they use the air in their guts to change their buoyancy, which changes when the air pressure changes, so sometimes you just see them floating around looking like a drifting hot dog until they explode and scurry off.

I can't find anything about why it's illegal and the only funny thing I found in Wikipedia was this

Between 2010 and 2020 M. anguillicaudatus was found in 10 states of the United States including Alabama and Georgia.[19] The Georgia find was in November 2020[20] in McNutt Creek[19][20] in Athens

Heh, McNut

It's because it's not illegal to own in many states. A law must be enforced, and I'm fairly certain you can buy these loaches at almost any PetSmart.
