super red arrow

[RonR.]

I wrote CITIES a while back petitioning them to allow them in the US for fishkeepers. Every so often the letter/petition campaign comes up.

When they become legal in the US, I'm getting a red one. Right now I have to settle for this:


had an artist draw this red asian aro for me a few years ago


bought these chinese new year stamps overseas for New Year's 2000


the whole meal deal


my mother-in-law made me a red aro quilt. She copied my artwork onto material. We also added Chinese characters with the English translations below






it's for a king-size bed. I'm trying to get her to make me a moba front quilt.

They have been bred state side.

To my knowledge there were only like 2 reported cases of them breeding in tanks. But its not like the breeders could report it here

[eklikewhoa]

I've read several instances in california of captive bred stateside.

I believe someone told me that wild Asian Arowana are pretty much extinct.. And farms do release them back into the rivers, just not very many.

Why would they, its not enforced by the governments or cites officials. All the farms are just about money they have no oncentive to release. Their are probably more asian aros in the us than in the wild

They are still illegal because farms never release any young back into the wild therefore not helping the population. Its not cites that stops them in the us its our endangered species act

It would set you back alot even if you could get one. Might as well buy a stingray! :)

The likeliness of a hobbyist obtaining a permit is like finding a unicorn.. It takes a lot of time for Zoo's to even get permits.. Still don't understand why they're illegal when they're bred by the thousands in Canada and Asia..

[barrettsline]

Yes. But you have to meet a laundry list of requirements.

[cu0ngsayz]

You can get a permit?!?

[rgonzales]

Well try and go the legal route an obtain a permit.

Never heard of any hobbiest getting the permit
