Thanks and yes. If I bring a fish from another hatchery, I use their test results as long as the fish do not touch water here in Indiana. If they do, then I have to submit 3 years of clean health tests to get the pre-importation papers.

The paperwork has been submitted, as soon as I receive the pre-importation papers I will be moving fish. I have a few to stock that are not "public waters of the state", so they can receive Tilapia, and I have orders for stocking of Northern Bluegill, which, typically will be approved for both types of ponds.

It is my understanding that as long as the ponds are truly private, no testing is required. But, the fish will all be tested and approved anyway, so that is a moot point.
