its not a good idea to take fish from one body of water to plant in another.. you risk the chance of introducing all kinds of bacterias and other parisites that may not be there..
It is one thing to take home to a privet pond that has no conection to any main bodies of waters like river streams drainage ditches or lakes where the risk is nill of contaminating any main bodies of water. Introducing something that isnt already there as you know can be devistating. Just look at the flying carp in the mississippi. Those are big enough to see, small things can be just as devistating to native species.
If you would like to see them back in the waters you fish, contact your local fish regulatory and discuss it with them, they may have a sorce where you can buy cleen healthy fish to re-introduce.
