super red arrow

[madehtsobi]

There was some guy on MFK that bred just regular arrows but in Thailand or one of those countries. He bred them like crazy!!!! Pond was murky as f***. Use a big *** net scoop them up and open their mouths up and spit into a container. Crazy

There's vids all over the youtube, they have trenches and they run the drag net and just dig them up like bait fish.

Nevermind didnt think that through. If the fisheries of the native countries really wanted it to get better they would force farms to release a percentage back into the wild but not gonna happen. I understand not all would survive but at least it would add some to the wild populations. I was told before that was one of the conditions of the farms being able to run but that local gov'ts and cites officials dont enforce it

Third world country problems vs. first world country problems.

True but it makes the system and goals set pointless

[mantis108]

do u guys know why the fish was classified as endangered ? once the third world countries in asian found out how much they could fetch for one they went aro hunting......they would chop the males head right off and there would be hundreds of babys in there......and they could easily fetch 1000 for each versus the national average income of 70 us dollars back then.....there are many around the crime is when you bring them across borders.....if they are here already just say i liked the fish and didnt know and big bro will let u keep it.....the quality is in the gills when young....most of the golds in town are not true golds but actually yellow aros.......in cali u can get them for 150 and the green are 300

No, only noobs don't know what a gold is.....

I know, and have seen in person, people in Houston with multiple golds.

[rgonzales]

No even having the fish is illegal and can result in fines and jail time. You would not be able to keep the fish. I dont know where you got your info but green are the cheapest. Golds would also be rtg or xb. And xb prices are higher than reds

[myjohnson]

+1!

And what are yellows?

I've seen some super reds priced higher than xb.

[rgonzales]

Probably yellowtail/banjar/ red 1.5 or grade 2. And alot of the stated prices must be old because recently ive seen greens at 600 and rtg at 1500. For those who would risk it is the massive fine and jail time really worth it though

Might be heading to Canada next month...

Lol

[rgonzales]

All asian aros for sale are farm bred. Cites requires them to be microchipped and have a certificate. They are not legally allowed here because of the esa even if captive bred with all paperwork

[DTony]

LOL Robert. Cmon now. Asian aros in the wild? They're pretty much extinct. Destruction of their habitats plus the natives trying to catch them to sell is a big problem. Some farms do release some of their Aro's, but they track them closely to make sure they're not jacked. Honestly, if you compare the Asian Aro population in captivity vs. the wild, you'd probably end up with 95% in captivity, and 5% in the wild.. It's gotten pretty bad.

Just saw who posted this thread... I would be kinglowballer too if I was trying to obtain a super red.
