Aquatic frogs

Apparently Seattle has banned these little guys for sale all over. I had heard it was because of a salmonella break out or something. It is pretty useless if you ask me.
I have been all over trying to find one or 2 for my one of my fish tanks and to no avail.
I am thinking I may have to order them by mail.

I really do not see the harm that they could do. What is funny there are other frogs for sale at pet stores yet not the aquatic ones...it doesn't make sense.
