Rare in the hobby. I have seen them tho. This is just with endangered species in general.
Eh, where did you see em? W/ populations of wild Asians being so low I cant see the governments allowing real wilds to be exported. It could have been an early brood that didn't lose its wild look yet, F1.. or I could see it if it were in some public aquarium

I dont have much knowledge about the Arowanas. I was once offered a wc arowana if i remember correct. Now reading up on the whole situation of the wild aros, i doubt it was real.
I'm not a complete idiot
Didn't say you were. 90% 0f the people on this forum can't tell the difference between an asian aro and a jardini.
Well if you want to help legalize Asian Arowanas, there is a petition that if 100,000 signatures are made, the U.S government will reconsider. Please support this petition by signing and spreading the word. The link is http://wh.gov/lVNqy
It was only yesterday that I had to explain to someone in my LFS that the jardini aro he kept looking at wasn't an Asian even though he shouted "look at the Asian aro " to his mate about six times , he told me he's got a silver aro and that the aro in the shop looked like an Asian to him :banghead:
You'd think owning a silver he would have done at least a bit of basic aro research but clearly not the case he said his silver jumps out a lot , I asked if his lid was secure and he replied yes but its got a gap at the back because its not the correct hood :banghead::banghead:
I then proceeded to tell him that I've kept jardini for near eight years and the differences are pretty obvious the one for sale in the shop is a jardini (the tank is labeled too) and the 24" rtg in the shops display tank was an Asian
