The fate of local fish has not been decided yet, but the man who owns Rocky the snakehead fish is having T-shirts printed for his cause. The Department of Environmental Conservation says Rocky is a danger to local waters and they want to kill the fish. Chris Deverso says Rocky has been a pet for 10 years- and he says Rocky was legal when he bought him. Now, Deverso says he is ordering "Save Rocky" shirts. The money raised will benefit animal rescue efforts.

Pre-orders are being taken now for the T-shirts, which will be available at the end of the week. They cost between $10 and $12. To order them, contact Chris Deverso at cdeverso@yahoo.com or by calling 952-2424.
